Riassunto

Embedded systems exposed!

From operating our cars, to controlling the elevators we ride, todoing our laundry or cooking our dinner, the special computers wecall embedded systems are quietly and unobtrusively doing theirjobs. Embedded systems give us the ability to put increasinglylarge amounts of capability into ever-smaller devices. EmbeddedSystems: A Contemporary Design Tool introduces you to thetheoretical and software foundations of these systems, and showsyou how to apply embedded systems concepts to design practicalapplications that solve real-world challenges.

Taking the user's problem and needs as your starting point, you'lldelve into each of the key theoretical and practical aspects toconsider when designing an application. Author James Peckol walksyou through the formal hardware and software development process,covering:
* How to break the problem down into major functional blocks
* Planning the digital and software architecture of thesystem
* Designing the physical world interface to external analog anddigital signals
* Debugging and testing throughout the development cycle
* Improving performance

Stressing the importance of safety and reliability in the designand development of embedded systems and providing a balancetreatment of both the hardware and software aspects of embeddedsystems, Embedded Systems gives you the right tools for developingsafe, reliable, and robust solutions in a wide range of embeddedapplications.

Embedded systems exposed!

From operating our cars, to controlling the elevators we ride,to doing our laundry or cooking our dinner, the special computerswe call embedded systems are quietly and unobtrusively doing theirjobs. Embedded systems give us the ability to put increasinglylarge amounts of capability into ever-smaller devices. EmbeddedSystems: A Contemporary Design Tool introduces you to thetheoretical and software foundations of these systems, and showsyou how to apply embedded systems concepts to design practicalapplications that solve real-world challenges.
