The Art of Designing Embedded Systems

Review

Jack is back! A complete update of the book that shaped the embedded community!

Synopsis

Jack Ganssle has been forming the careers of embedded engineers for 20+ years. He has done this with four books, over 500 articles, a weekly column, and continuous lecturing. Technology moves fast and since the first edition of this best-selling classic much has changed. This new edition will reflect the author’s new and ever evolving philosophy in the face of new technology and realities. Now more than ever an overarching philosophy of development is needed before just sitting down to build an application. Practicing embedded engineers will find that Jack provides a high-level strategic plan of attack to the often times chaotic and ad hoc design and development process. He helps frame and solve the issues an engineer confronts with real-time code and applications, hardware and software coexistences, and streamlines detail management. The contents of this book include: Chapter 1 – Introduction; Chapter 2 – The Project; Chapter 3 – The Code; Chapter 4 – Real Time; Chapter 5 – The Real World; Chapter 6 – Disciplined Development; Appendix A – A Firmware Standard; Appendix B – A Simple Drawing System; and, Appendix C – A Boss Guide to Process.

This book is authored by Jack Ganssle, Tech Editor of Embedded Systems Programming and weekly column on embedded.com. It helps you keep schedules in check as projects and codes grow by taking time to understand the project beforehand and understand how cost/benefit coexists with design and development.
