Offers essential knowledge on embedded systems technology and techniques. This book uses real processors (ARM processor and TI C55x DSP) to demonstrate both technology and techniques. It shows readers how to apply principles to actual design practice. It covers various topics with emphasis on actual design practice.
"This book is a good textbook for any introductory course in embedded systems design, and it can also serve in a more advanced capacity.[...] If you need to teach a course on embedded systems, or if you just want to learn on your own, I recommend taking a good look at this text."--Grant Martin, "Teaching someone to fish," IEEE Design and Test of Computers, vol. 26, no. 5, pp. 106-107, Sep./Oct. 2009
