Embedded Software Development

This programmer-centric book delivers a practical introduction to embedded software development, with a focus on open-source components. It is written in a way that enables even novice practitioners to grasp the development process as a whole. Incorporating real code fragments and explicit open-source RTOS references throughout, the text defines the role and purpose of embedded systems, describing their internal structure and interfacing with software development tools. The book also covers advanced topics such as formal verification, model checking, runtime checks, memory protection, security, and dependability.
