Description: If you would like to make the transition from more traditional software development to embedded systems, now there's an easy, accessible introduction for any programmer who wants to enter the field. David Simon introduces the broad range of applications for embedded software and then reviews each major issue facing developers. You'll learn the implications of limited memory and processor resources and how embedded software handles external events without human intervention. You'll explore the role of real-time operating systems, and see how developers seek to reduce time-to-market without compromising quality. For the new embedded software developer, this book is the best single source for practical solutions, techniques, and "good habits" that apply no matter which processor, real-time operating systems, methodology, or application you're working with.
