Embedded Systems and Its Programming

This book documents an industry-proven approach to the development of software for reliable, real-time embedded systems, based on the use of time-triggered (TT) architectures. "ERES (LPC1769)" describes techniques that may be applied to systems in a wide range of sectors, ranging from household goods to satellite and marine systems. The main case study (presented in an initial version in Chapter 3 and in a final version in Chapter 15) describes a controller for a domestic washing machine. The system is developed in compliance with IEC 60335 / IEC 60730. Throughout the book, the aim is to describe flexible system frameworks that can be adapted to meet the needs of a wide range of different embedded designs in various industry sectors.

This book provides engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and students a broad, comprehensive source of information and technology to address many questions and aspects of flexible embedded control systems.

In this book, Michael J Pont introduces 70 powerful, proven design techniques ("patterns") for enhancing rapid development and reliability in embedded systems based on the popular 8051 microcontroller family.

The Embedded Configurable Operating System (eCos) gives professionals a low-cost, royalty-free embedded software development solution that works in highly constrained hardware environments, while scaling smoothly to larger products.

This book covers the development and testing of embedded software from many different angles and using a case study on what you need to know from first inspiration to masterclass.
