Embedded Software Design: A Practical Approach to Architecture, Processes, and Coding Techniques

Design higher-quality embedded software from concept through production. This book assumes basic C and microcontroller programming knowledge and is organized into three critical areas: Software Architecture and Design; Agile, DevOps, and Processes; and Development and Coding Skills.
You'll start with a basic introduction to embedded software architecture and the considerations for a successful design. The book then breaks down how to architect an RTOS-based application and explore common design patterns and building blocks. Next, you'll review embedded software design processes such as TDD, CI/CD, modeling, and simulation that can be used to accelerate development. Finally, the book will examine how to select a microcontroller, write configurable code, coding strategies, techniques, and tools developers can't live without.

Embedded systems are typically designed using microcontrollers to build electronic systems with a dedicated function and real-time responses. Modern systems need to carefully balance a complex set of features, manage security, and even run machine learning inferences while maintaining reasonable costs, scalability, and robustness. By the end of this book, you will have a defined development process, understand modern software architecture, and be equipped to start building embedded systems. What You'll Learn

• Understand what sound embedded system design is and how to employ it
  
• Explore modern development processes for quality systems
• Know where the bits hit the silicon: how to select a microcontroller
• Master techniques to write configurable, automated code

Who This Book Is For Embedded software and hardware engineers, enthusiasts, or any stakeholders who would like to learn modern techniques for designing and building embedded systems.

從概念到生產，設計高品質的嵌入式軟體。本書假設讀者具備基本的C語言和微控制器程式設計知識，並分為三個關鍵領域：軟體架構與設計、敏捷開發、DevOps和流程，以及開發和編碼技巧。

首先，你將從嵌入式軟體架構的基本介紹和成功設計的考慮因素開始。接著，本書將解析如何設計基於RTOS的應用程式，並探索常見的設計模式和建構塊。接下來，你將回顧嵌入式軟體設計流程，如TDD、CI/CD、建模和模擬，這些流程可以加速開發。最後，本書將探討如何選擇微控制器、撰寫可配置的程式碼，以及開發人員必不可少的編碼策略、技巧和工具。

嵌入式系統通常使用微控制器設計，以建立具有專用功能和即時響應的電子系統。現代系統需要仔細平衡一組複雜的功能，管理安全性，甚至在保持合理成本、可擴展性和穩健性的同時運行機器學習推論。通過閱讀本書，你將擁有明確的開發流程，了解現代軟體架構，並具備開始建立嵌入式系統的能力。

你將學到以下內容：
- 瞭解什麼是良好的嵌入式系統設計，以及如何應用它
- 探索品質系統的現代開發流程
- 知道位元如何影響硅片：如何選擇微控制器
- 掌握撰寫可配置、自動化程式碼的技巧

本書適合嵌入式軟體和硬體工程師、愛好者，以及任何希望學習現代嵌入式系統設計和建立技巧的利害關係人。
