The Art of Programming Embedded Systems

Embedded systems are products such as microwave ovens, cars, and toys that rely on an internal microprocessor. This book is oriented toward the design engineer or programmer who writes the computer code for such a system. There are a number of problems specific to the embedded systems designer, and this book addresses them and offers practical solutions. Key Features * Offers cookbook routines, algorithms, and design techniques * Includes tips for handling debugging management and testing * Explores the philosophy of tightly coupling software and hardware in programming and developing an embedded system * Provides one of the few coherent references on this subject Content: Front Matter , Page iii Copyright , Page iv Dedication , Page v Preface , Pages xi-xii Acknowledgments , Page xiii CHAPTER 1 - Introduction , Pages 1-8 CHAPTER 2 - Initial Considerations , Pages 9-35 CHAPTER 3 - Elegant Structures , Pages 36-62 CHAPTER 4 - Design for Debugging , Pages 63-100 CHAPTER 5 - Design for Test , Pages 101-120 CHAPTER 6 - Memory Management , Pages 121-149 CHAPTER 7 - Approximations , Pages 151-173 CHAPTER 8 - Interrupt Management , Pages 174-193 CHAPTER 9 - Real-Time Operating Systems , Pages 194-222 CHAPTER 10 - Signal Sampling and Smoothing , Pages 223-246 CHAPTER 11 - A Final Perspective , Pages 247-254 APPENDIX A - Magazines , Pages 255-256 APPENDIX B - File Format , Pages 257-260 APPENDIX C - Serial Communications , Pages 261-269 Bibliography , Pages 271-274 Index , Pages 275-279 Embedded systems are products such as microwave ovens, cars, and toys that rely on an internal microprocessor.
