A comprehensive guide to reaping the benefits of architectural modeling in embedded design
Key Features
- Identify and overcome challenges in embedded environments
- Understand the steps required to increase the security of IoT solutions
- Build safety-critical and memory-safe parallel and distributed embedded systems
Book Description
Embedded systems are self-contained units that have a dedicated purpose within a device. We come across a variety of applications of embedded systems in navigation tools, telecom applications, and networking equipment, to name just a few.
Embedded Systems Architecture begins with a bird’s eye view of embedded development and how it differs from the other systems that you may be familiar with. You’ll first be guided to setting up a development environment and then move on to the core system architectural concepts, exploring pragmatic designs, boot-up mechanisms, and memory management. Next, you’ll look at the programming interface and device drivers to establish communication via TCP/IP and take measures to increase the security of IoT solutions. Lastly, you’ll be introduced to parallel multithreaded applications through the development of a scheduler.
By the end of the book, you will have explored various aspects of embedded architecture such as memory management, focusing on a memory-safe approach, multithreading, and the RTOS approach.
What you will learn
- Participate in the design and definition phase of an embedded product
- Learn about architectural design patterns and engineering tradeoffs
- Build an embedded development lab and optimize the workflow
