Fundamentals of Embedded Software: Where C and Assembly Meet is a refreshing alternative to the traditional sophomore text on computer organization and assembly language programming. The text approaches assembly the way it is commonly used in practice>to implement small, fast, or special-purpose routines called from a main program written in a high-level language such as C. By using an embedded software context, the text introduces multi-threaded programming, preemptive and non-preemptive systems, shared resources, and scheduling, thus providing a solid foundation for subsequent courses on operating systems, real-time systems, networking, and microprocessor-based design.
The text will help you:
* appreciate the often overlooked consequences and limitations of binary representation.
* implement fast real-number arithmetic using fixed-point reals instead of floating-point.
* reinforce your comprehension of scope, parameter passing, recursion, and memory allocation.
* employ features of C (such as bit-manipulation and variant access) commonly used in embedded software.
* write functions in Intel x86 protected mode assembly to be called from C.
* estimate maximum data rate and latency for various styles of I/O programming.
* manage multiple threads, shared resources, and critical sections.
* develop programming practices that avoid priority inversions, deadlocks, and shared memory problems.

Tags: Embedded Multitasking [edit]
In an embedded system, firmware is the software that directly interfaces with the microcontroller, controlling the systems function. The major forces driving the embedded firmware development process today are reduced development times, increased complexity, and the need to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. These forces translate into strenuous design requirements for embedded engineers and programmers. Many low-level embedded microcontroller designs have insufficient memory and/or architectural limitations that make the use of a real-time operating system impractical. The techniques presented in this book allow the design of robust multitasking firmware through the use of interleaved state machines. This book presents a complete overview of multitasking terminology and basic concepts. Practical criteria for task selection and state machine design are also discussed.
Designing multitasking firmware is arduous, complex and fraught with potential for errors, and there is no one, standard way to do it. This book will present a complete and well-organized design approach with examples and sample source code that designers can follow.
* Covers every aspect of design from the system level to the component level, including system timing, communicating with the hardware, integration and testing.
* Accompanying CD-ROM contains the source code for the text examples and other useful design tools.

Tags: Designing Embedded Communications Software [edit]
Create network communications software with a thorough understanding of the essential system-level design and implementation choices and how they affect the performance and maintainability of your embedded system. An examination of the OSI 7-layer model serves as a starting point for a logical partitioning of software functionality in a communications system. With this foundation, you explore a development model that addresses the complete range of issues in the design of embedded communications software, including real-time operating systems, hardware and software partitioning, layering, and protocol stacks.
Delve into the design techniques (state tables, upper- and lower-level interfaces, configuration techniques, buffer and timer management) that enable clean, understandable implementations of even complex protocols. Explore specialized design issues, including task and table management, as well as implementation issues that include:
- how device and network management capabilities should interact with the stack
- how to handle system startup and configuration
- what special requirements multi-board designs impose
Combine the recommended design and development processes-complete with a list of appropriate equipment and tools-with your newfound perspective to tackle your next project.
