Microprocessors are becoming increasingly present in many aspects of our daily lives. They have become the standard way of implementing digital systems ranging from sophisticated process control systems to cars, burglar alarms and even children's toys. As a result, the demand for these products is increasing dramatically, as is the need for knowledge and the understanding of technology. This is a guide to all aspects of embedded system design, including the hardware, software and design trade-offs associated with design. However, most hardware these days comes ready packaged as a microcontroller and so the emphasis in the book is on software, since this is where the engineer must develop expertise. The approach taken is largely practical, the aim being to explain how systems are designed in the real world rather than in theory. In keeping with this approach, there is a chapter of case studies included in the book to allow the readers to investigate their own real systems and gain practical experience.

Steve Heath's design masterclass covers the practical hardware and software issues, and the design trade-offs of real-world system design.
In Embedded Systems Design Steve Heath leads the reader through the design choices involved in system design. The key technologies and applications are introduced in the context of the design process - selection, trade-offs and pitfalls. Detailed consideration is given to processor architectures, memory types, interrupts and their associated software systems, real-time operating systems and software development.
In the second edition the latest ARM processors and other hardware developments are fully covered along with new sections on Embedded Linux, performance analysis and benchmarking. In addition, a fascinating new case study explores how embedded systems can be developed and experimented with using nothing more than a standard MS-DOS PC and freeware software.
Senior Staff Engineer, European Strategy and Technology Development, Motorola Semiconductors, Steve Heath has written 15 books on topics covering Apple and IBM PCs, processor architectures, UNIX and Windows NT operating systems.
