October 2022 – Issue #121

Dear *|FNAME|*,

Welcome back to the Embedded Bytes Newsletter, where we break down embedded systems one byte at a time!

Here are the article highlights for this edition:

I know, highly focused on the Pico this issue! We’ll get back to other embedded concepts in the next issue.

The IoT Online Conference will take place December 14 -15. The call for talks is now open. You can get a free pass, ($90 savings), by helping us spread the word. You can click here and follow the instructions. (You just need to share a LinkedIn/Twitter post). Thanks for the help!

Happy Coding,

Jacob

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
