What separates a blinking LED from a deployed IoT device that runs reliably for years? The answer is almost always the same: a real-time operating system, used correctly.
Most embedded developers hit a wall. They can write code that works on a bench — reading a sensor, toggling a pin, connecting to Wi-Fi. But when they try to combine three things at once, everything breaks. The Wi-Fi stack starves the sensor task. The button handler blocks everything else. The device crashes after six hours for no obvious reason. They patch it, and something else breaks. The problem isn't their code. It's the architecture. They're building concurrent systems with single-threaded thinking.
Getting Started with ESP32 FreeRTOS is the book that closes that gap. Written specifically for the ESP32 and ESP-IDF v5.x, it teaches you to think in tasks, design with queues and semaphores, and build firmware that handles real-world complexity without falling apart. From your first xTaskCreate() call to a fully deployed multi-sensor IoT dashboard with Wi-Fi telemetry, BLE connectivity, and over-the-air updates — this book takes you the entire distance.
Inside, you will learn how to:
• Design multi-task firmware from scratch — understand task states, priorities, the dual-core scheduler, and how to pin tasks to the right core for maximum performance
• Master every synchronisation primitive — queues, binary and counting semaphores, mutexes with priority inheritance, event groups, and task notifications, with clear guidance on when to use each one
• Integrate hardware peripherals the right way — UART, SPI, and I2C communication with thread-safe driver patterns, GPIO interrupts with proper ISR-to-task deferred processing, and high-resolution timers
• Build rock-solid wireless connectivity — connect to Wi-Fi with exponential backoff reconnection, expose sensor data over BLE using a GATT server, and POST telemetry to cloud dashboards over HTTPS
• Debug and profile running firmware — decode panic backtraces with the IDF monitor, use GDB over JTAG to inspect every task simultaneously, measure CPU load with runtime statistics, and track stack usage before it causes crashes
• Ship production-quality devices — implement OTA firmware updates with automatic rollback, harden your device with flash encryption and secure boot, and apply the field testing protocol that separates a reliable product from an expensive paperweight
The book culminates in a complete capstone project: a multi-sensor IoT dashboard that combines everything — BME280 and UV sensors over I2C, ADC-sampled light readings, a BLE GATT server, Wi-Fi HTTP telemetry, GPIO button handling, and a system health monitor — built using the same task architecture and design patterns used in professional IoT firmware today.
Every chapter builds on the last. Every concept is grounded in working, production-quality code. No hand-waving, no oversimplified toy examples — just the real patterns that real embedded engineers use.
Whether you are a hobbyist who has outgrown Arduino, a software developer making your first move into embedded systems, or a hardware engineer who wants to write firmware that scales, this book gives you the mental models, the tools, and the confidence to build things that actually work in the field.
Stop hacking around concurrency bugs and start engineering firmware that runs forever — pick up your copy today and write your first production-ready IoT application.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
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.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to GreatBookPricesUK, Castle Donington, Derby, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
