Embedded Systems Architecture

Design safe and reliable software for embedded systems and explore the internals of device drivers, RTOS, and TEE

Key Features
Identify and overcome challenges in embedded environmentsUnderstand and implement the steps required to increase the security of IoT solutionsBuild safety-critical and memory-safe parallel and distributed embedded systems
Book Description

Embedded Systems Architecture begins with a bird's-eye view of embedded development and how it differs from the other systems that you may be familiar with. This book will help you get the hang of the internal working of various components in real-world systems.

You'll start by setting up a development environment and then move on to the core system architectural concepts, exploring system designs, boot-up mechanisms, and memory management. As you progress through the topics, you'll explore the programming interface and device drivers to establish communication via TCP/IP and take measures to increase the security of IoT solutions. Finally, you'll be introduced to multithreaded operating systems through the development of a scheduler and the use of hardware-assisted trusted execution mechanisms.

With the help of this book, you will gain the confidence to work with embedded systems at an architectural level and become familiar with various aspects of embedded software development on microcontrollers—such as memory management, multithreading, and RTOS—an approach oriented to memory isolation.
