Embedded Systems Architecture: A Comprehensive Guide for Engineers and Programmers, Third Edition is a practical and technical guide for understanding the components that make up an embedded system’s architecture. This book is perfect for those starting out as technical professionals such as engineers, programmers, and designers of embedded systems but is also great for students of computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering. Users will find a much-needed ‘big picture’ for recently graduated engineers grappling with understanding the design of real-world systems. In addition, the book provides professionals with a systems-level picture of the key elements that can go into embedded design.
