Book Description
You’ll start with a basic introduction to embedded software architecture and the considerations for a successful design. The book then breaks down how to architect an RTOS-based application and explore common design patterns and building blocks. Next, you’ll review embedded software design processes such as TDD, CI/CD, modeling, and simulation that can be used to accelerate development. Finally, the book will examine how to select a microcontroller, write configurable code, coding strategies, techniques, and tools developers can’t live without.
Embedded systems are typically designed using microcontrollers to build electronic systems with a dedicated function and real-time responses. Modern systems need to carefully balance a complex set of features, manage security, and even run machine learning inferences while maintaining reasonable costs, scalability, and robustness. By the end of this book, you will have a defined development process, understand modern software architecture, and be equipped to start building embedded systems.
What You’ll Learn- Understand what sound embedded system design is and how to employ it
- Explore modern development processes for quality systems
- Know where the bits hit the silicon: how to select a microcontroller
- Master techniques to write configurable, automated code
Who This Book Is ForEmbedded software and hardware engineers, enthusiasts, or any stakeholders who would like to learn modern techniques for designing and building embedded systems.

Embedded System Design starts with a basic introduction to embedded software architecture and the considerations for a successful design. We then break down how to architect an RTOS-based application and explore common design patterns and building blocks. Next, we discuss embedded software design processes such as TDD, CI/CD, modeling, and simulation that can be used to accelerate development. Finally, we will discuss how to select a microcontroller, write configurable code, coding strategies, techniques, and tools developers can’t live without. By the end of this book, you will have a defined development process, understand modern software architecture, and be equipped to start building embedded systems. You will:
- Learn how to design and build embedded systems in a practical manner
- Understand what sound embedded system design is and how to employ it
- Explore modern development processes for quality systems
- Know where the bits hit the silicon: how to select a microcontroller
- Master techniques to write configurable, automated code
