<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book integrates new ideas and topics from real time systems, embedded systems, and software engineering to give a complete picture of the whole process of developing software for real-time embedded applications. You will not only gain a thorough understanding of concepts related to microprocessors, interrupts, and system boot process, appreciating the importance of real-time modeling and scheduling, but you will also learn software engineering practices such as model documentation, model analysis, design patterns, and standard conformance.</p> <p>This book is split into four parts to help you learn the key concept of embedded systems; Part one introduces the development process, and includes two chapters on microprocessors and interrupts---fundamental topics for software engineers; Part two is dedicated to modeling techniques for real-time systems; Part three looks at the design of software architectures and Part four covers software implementations, with a focus on POSIX-compliant operating systems.</p> <p>With this book you will learn: </p> <ul> <li>The pros and cons of different architectures for embedded systems </li> <li>POSIX real-time extensions, and how to develop POSIX-compliant real time applications </li> <li>How to use real-time UML to document system designs with timing constraints</li> <li>The challenges and concepts related to cross-development </li> <li>Multitasking design and inter-task communication techniques (shared memory objects, message queues, pipes, signals)</li> <li>How to use kernel objects (e.g. Semaphores, Mutex, Condition variables) to address resource sharing issues in RTOS applications </li> <li>The philosophy underpinning the notion of resource manager and how to implement a virtual file system using a resource manager </li> <li>The key principles of real-time scheduling and several key algorithms</li><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...does an excellent job of covering the details no one talks about, like ELF/COFF files and link sections (e.g., .bss)...I recommend it...you'll get some really worthwhile ideas. --<b>Embedded</b><br>
