Description: The demand for real-time embedded systems is increasing rapidly, and events such as the Mars space mission, the year 2000 crisis, and the advent of Java have put real-time embedded systems in the spotlight. Embedded systems have unique requirements, and the development of these applications is a challenging task for the software programmer. This book allows an application developer to transition to the unique realm of real-time embedded programming. The authors cover the essential topics that are relevant to all forms of real-time embedded development. In addition, they teach programmers how to build real-time embedded systems using the latest platforms, tools, and technologies. Readers will also learn when to apply standard hardware and software in their projects, and how using off-the-shelf products can reduce their time to market, cut the costs of a project, and put more resources at their disposal. The tools on the accompanying CD-ROM make it possible for the authors to demonstrate real-time embedded concepts, and for readers to build real-time embedded programs using their desktop PC/AT-compatible machines and their Windows development environment.
