Paperback. Modern products-from smart home devices and medical instruments to industrial controllers, automotive electronics, and IoT systems-depend on robust firmware. Yet many engineers struggle to connect theory with practical implementation. Firmware Handbook bridges that gap by providing a clear, hands-on guide to designing, developing, debugging, and maintaining real embedded systems using modern microcontrollers and real-time operating systems (RTOS). This book is written for readers who want practical knowledge, not just academic theory. It explains complex concepts in straightforward language and demonstrates how firmware components work together in real projects. Inside this comprehensive handbook, you will learn how to: Understand microcontroller architecture, memory systems, buses, peripherals, and startup behaviourConfigure GPIO, timers, interrupts, ADCs, DACs, UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, and other common interfacesWrite efficient, maintainable, and portable embedded C firmwareDesign deterministic real-time applications using RTOS tasks, scheduling, queues, semaphores, mutexes, event flags, and timersManage memory safely and avoid fragmentation, stack overflow, and hard-to-find runtime faultsImplement low-power techniques for battery-powered and energy-efficient devicesUse debugging tools such as SWD/JTAG, breakpoints, watchpoints, trace, logic analysers, and oscilloscopesDevelop reliable bootloaders and firmware update mechanismsBuild interrupt-driven and event-driven systems with predictable timingApply defensive programming, fault handling, watchdog recovery, and safety-oriented design practicesTest firmware effectively using unit testing, integration testing, hardware-in-the-loop methods, and continuous integration workflowsOrganise firmware projects for scalability, teamwork, version control, documentation, and long-term maintenance.And so much more. What makes this book different? Unlike many embedded books that focus heavily on mathematics or vendor-specific details, Firmware Handbook emphasises practical engineering decisions. Each topic is presented with real-world context, implementation guidance, design trade-offs, and best practices used in professional embedded development. Whether you are creating your first microcontroller project or developing complex RTOS-based products, this handbook provides a structured path from fundamentals to advanced firmware engineering. If you want a practical reference that you can keep beside your development board and return to throughout your career, Firmware Handbook is the resource you have been looking for. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
