Fast and Effective Embedded Systems Design: From bits and bytes to IoT, with the Arm Mbed, Third Edition is a fast-moving introduction to embedded systems design, applying the innovative ARM mbed and its web-based development environment. Each chapter introduces a major topic in embedded systems, and proceeds as a series of practical experiments, adopting a "learning through doing" strategy. Minimal background knowledge is needed to start. C/C++ programming is applied, with a step-by-step approach which allows you to get coding quickly. Once the basics are covered, the book progresses to some "hot" embedded issues – intelligent instrumentation, wireless and networked systems, digital audio and digital signal processing. In this new edition all code is refreshed to be appropriate to the new Mbed operating system, and much new code is introduced. The principles of real time operating systems are explained, and the capabilities of the Mbed RTOS are clearly demonstrated in a series of practical examples. The third edition will readily form the basis of introductory and intermediate university or college courses in embedded systems.
