Your Embedded Software Newsletter …

March 2023 – Issue #128

Dear *|FNAME|*,

Welcome back to the Embedded Bytes newsletter! Your source for everything embedded software and firmware!

A few announcements for this newsletter issue:

I’ve had a lot of requests and questions about moving to C++. Starting March 22nd, I’m going to run a five session course entitled Migrating to C++: Classes and Object-Oriented Design. If you register before March 17th, you can register for only $190 (33% off) using coupon code NEWS_MARCH.

For this edition, here are the article highlights:

If there is anything I can do to help you and your team, please feel free to reach out!

Happy Coding,

Jacob

Beningo Embedded Group offers Software Architecture Consulting and Training

Software architecture design is a key to successfully developing platform software. Platform software is scalable, reusable, and portable code that can be used to launch a series of products with life times of as much, and more than 10 years.

You might be in the process of kicking off a new product cycle, or struggling to get your current product out the door due to your architecture design. If you or your team need help reviewing, or designing your products software architecture, I’m here to help and can be reached at [email protected].

Embedded Software Design

This book will teach you how to design higher-quality embedded software from concept through production. Embedded systems are typically designed using microcontrollers to build electronic systems with a dedicated function and real-time responses. Modern systems need to carefully balance a complex set of features, manage security, and even run machine learning inferences while maintaining reasonable costs, scalability, and robustness. This book is organized into three critical areas:

Software Architecture and Design
Agile, DevOps, and Processes
Development and Coding Skills

Embedded System Design starts with a basic introduction to embedded software architecture and the considerations for a successful design. We then break down how to architect an RTOS-based application and explore common design patterns and building blocks. Next, we discuss embedded software design processes such as TDD, CI/CD, modeling, and simulation that can be used to accelerate development. Finally, we will discuss how to select a microcontroller, write configurable code, coding strategies, techniques, and tools developers can’t live without. By the end of this book, you will have a defined development process, understand modern software architecture, and be equipped to start building embedded systems.

What You Will Learn

Learn how to design and build embedded systems in a practical manner
Understand what sound embedded system design is and how to employ it
Explore modern development processes for quality systems
Know where the bits hit the silicon: how to select a microcontroller
Master techniques to write configurable, automated code
