Real-Time Concepts for Embedded Systems

Master the fundamental concepts of real-time embedded system programming and jumpstart your embedded projects with effective and implementation practices. This book bridges the gap between higher­ level abstract modeling concepts and the lower-level programming aspects of embedded systems development. You gain a solid understanding of real-time embedded systems with detailed practical examples and industry wisdom on key concepts, processes, and the available tools and methods. Delve into the details of real-time programming so you can develop a working knowledge of the common patterns and program structures of real-time operating systems {RTOS). The objects and services that are a part of most RTOS kernels are described and real-time system is explored in detail. You learn how to decompose an application into units and how to combine these units with other objects and services to create standard building blocks. A rich set of ready-to-use, embedded "building blocks" is also supplied to accelerate your development efforts and increase your productivity. Experienced developers new to embedded systems and engineering or computer science students will both appreciate the careful balance between theory, illustrations, and practical discussions. Hard-won insights and experiences shed new light on application development, common problems, and solutions in the embedded space. Technical managers active in software reviews of real-time embedded systems will find this a valuable reference to the and implementation phases.
