The Art of Designing Embedded Systems


The Art of Designing Embedded Systems
Second Edition
By Jack Ganssle

For the purpose of this book, an embedded system is any application where a dedicated computer is built right into the system. While this definition can apply even to major weapon systems based on embedded blade servers, here I address the perhaps less glamorous but certainly much more common applications using 8-, 16-, and 32-bit processors.

Historically, embedded systems were programmed by hardware designers, since only they
understood the detailed bits and bytes of their latest creation. With the paradigm of the microprocessor as a controller, it was natural for the digital engineer to design as well as code a simple sequencer. Unfortunately, most hardware people were not trained in design methodologies, data structures, and structured programming. The result: many early microprocessor-based products were built on thousands of lines of devilishly complicated spaghetti code. The systems were un-maintainable, sometimes driving companies out of business.

Embedded Programming Textbook

Overview
A fully integrated control system, with mixed signal capabilities, is the emerging trend in the technological industry. There is currently a demand for sophisticated control systems with high-speed, precision digital and analog performance. Microcontrollers with mixed-signal capabilities are immensely popular in the industry. And it is for these compelling reasons they are taught at many universities and polytechnics delivering engineering courses. While there is a plethora of such devices from many vendors, there is a dearth of text books dealing with them. Every manufacturer supports its microcontroller device with data sheets and user guides. These are so voluminous that new learners, and often experienced blokes, just get blown off. One has to sift through piles of information sheets to dig out relevant data or methods even to get off the ground. Navigating through the information is nerve wrecking and often an exercise in futility.

The book examines the features of an advanced mixed-signal micro-controller. It is targeted mainly at university and polytechnic students of electronics, electrical and computer science subjects who are involved in learning micro-controllers either at an introductory or advanced level. For projects using micro-controllers to design and build a system, this book will serve as a handy reference and source of information. However, practising engineers, hobbyists, science teachers and high school students, all alike, will find this book useful too.

Embedded Systems Firmware Demystified



Embedded Systems Firmware Demystified
Author : Ed Sutter
ISBN: 1-57820-099-7

The goal of this book is to prepare you for a real embedded systems project by walking you through an entire embedded systems design. Not coincidentally, the project source code included is a piece of firmware — an embedded boot platform — that can simplify all your future projects. I assume a small hardware design with CPU, memory, and some peripherals. I present a basic schematic and walk you through the method in which instructions are fetched from memory. I discuss devices, as well as concepts. I examine flash memory versus EPROM, SRAM versus DRAM, microcontroller versus microprocessor, and data bus versus address bus. I also explain how you convert your C and assembly language source code to a binary image that ends up in the memory device from which the CPU boots (the boot flash memory).

Several chapters cover the basic steps of starting up an embedded system and getting a working application (including the basic boot in assembler), exception handling, flash memory drivers, a flash file system, and serial and Ethernet connections. The result is an understanding of how an embedded systems project gets started and how to build a platform on which an embedded systems application can reside.

Numerical Methods Real-Time and Embedded Systems Programming

Numerical Methods
Real-Time and Embedded Systems Programming
Author : Don Morgan
Publisher : M&T Publishing, Inc.
ISBN l-5585l-232-2

Overview
If you work with microprocessors or microcontrollers, you work with numbers. Whether it is a simple embedded machine-tool controller that does little more than drive displays, or interpret thumbwheel settings, or is a DSP functioning in a realtime system, you must deal with some form of numerics. Even an application that lacks special requirements for code size or speed might need to perform an occasional fractional multiply or divide for a D/A converter or another peripheral accepting binary parameters. And though the real bit twiddling may hide under the hood of a higher-level language, the individual responsible for that code must know how that operation differs from other forms of arithmetic to perform it correctly.

Embedded systems work involves all kinds of microprocessors and microcontrollers, and much of the programming is done in assembler because of the speed benefits or the resulting smaller code size. Unfortunately, few references are written to specifically address assembly language programming. One of the major reasons for this might be that assembly-language routines are not easily ported from one processor to another. As a result, most of the material devoted to assembler programming is written by the companies that make the processors. The code and algorithms in these cases are then tailored to the particular advantages (or to overcoming the particular disadvantages) of the product. The documentation that does exist contains very little about writing floating-point routines or elementary functions.

This book has two purposes. The first and primary aim is to present a spectrum of topics involving numerics and provide the information necessary to understand the fundamentals as well as write the routines themselves. Along with this information are examples of their implementation in 8086 assembler and pseudocode that show each algorithm in component steps, so you can port the operation to another target. A secondary, but by no means minor, goal is to introduce you to the benefits of binary arithmetic on a binary machine. The decimal numbering system is so pervasive that it is often difficult to think of numbers in any other format, but doing arithmetic in decimal on a binary machine can mean an enormous number of wasted machine cycles, undue complexity, and bloated programs. As you proceed through this book, you should become less dependent on blind libraries and more able to write fast, efficient routines in the native base of your machine.

Format :CHM
Size : 4.3 MB

Embedded computer systems literally surround us: they're in our cell phones, PDAs, cars, TVs, refrigerators, heating systems, and more. In fact, embedded systems are one of the most rapidly growing segments of the computer industry today.

Along with the growing list of devices for which embedded computer systems are appropriate, interest is growing among programmers, hobbyists, and engineers of all types in how to design and build devices of their own. Furthermore, the knowledge offered by this book into the fundamentals of these computer systems can benefit anyone who has to evaluate and apply the systems.

The second edition of Designing Embedded Hardware has been updated to include information on the latest generation of processors and microcontrollers, including the new MAXQ processor. If you're new to this and don't know what a MAXQ is, don't worry--the book spells out the basics of embedded design for beginners while providing material useful for advanced systems designers.

Designing Embedded Hardware steers a course between those books dedicated to writing code for particular microprocessors, and those that stress the philosophy of embedded system design without providing any practical information. Having designed 40 embedded computer systems of his own, author John Catsoulis brings a wealth of real-world experience to show readers how to design and create entirely new embedded devices and computerized gadgets, as well as how to customize and extend off-the-shelf systems.

Loaded with real examples, this book also provides a roadmap to the pitfalls and traps to avoid. Designing Embedded Hardware includes:

  • The theory and practice of embedded systems
  • Understanding schematics and data sheets
  • Powering an embedded system
  • Producing and debugging an embedded system
  • Processors such as the PIC, Atmel AVR, and Motorola 68000-series
  • Digital Signal Processing (DSP) architectures
  • Protocols (SPI and I2C) used to add peripherals
  • RS-232C, RS-422, infrared communication, and USB
  • CAN and Ethernet networking
  • Pulse Width Monitoring and motor control
  • If you want to build your own embedded system, or tweak an existing one, this invaluable book gives you the understanding and practical skills you need
