The Art of Designing Embedded Systems

Now more than ever, an overarching philosophy of development is needed before sitting down to build an application. Practicing embedded engineers will find that Jack provides a high-level strategic plan of attack to the often chaotic ad hoc design and development process. He helps frame and solve the issues engineers confront with real-time code and applications, hardware and software coexistence, and streamlined detail management. Book jacket.
