Features: Embedded systems are a combination of embedded hardware and embedded software. This book systematically introduces the composition, working principles, and design programming methods of embedded system software. The book is divided into 15 parts and 11 chapters, with the main content including:
Basic knowledge of embedded systems, including the definition, composition, characteristics, development overview, and application fields of embedded systems;
The characteristics and working principles of various typical embedded processors and embedded peripheral devices. Additionally, as an example of an embedded processor, it analyzes the current popular ARM core architecture and the prototyping and debugging methods of ARM processors;
The types and selection criteria of common embedded real-time operating systems and soft real-time operating systems. Then, taking the market-leading VxWorks operating system as an example, it explains in detail the composition of embedded operating systems, the working principles of multi-tasking environments, and the use of cross-development environments;
General design methods, development process steps, debugging techniques, and testing tools for embedded systems. It also introduces some unique programming techniques and optimization methods for embedded software compared to general computer systems;
The book concludes with related experiments on embedded systems. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, electronics, information science, and other disciplines of science and engineering. It can also be used as a training textbook for advanced refresher courses and as a reference for embedded product developers and enthusiasts in various enterprises.
