Your Embedded Software Newsletter …

December 2022 – Issue #123

Dear *|FNAME|*,

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

The good news is that the new beningo.com website updates have launched! That means I’ve finally been able to post Novembers blogs!

For this edtiion, here are the article highlights:

A few announcements for this newsletter issue:

I’m currently planning the 2023 Embedded Online Conference which will take place April 24-28. If you’d like to provide me your wants, feedback, and ideas, please fill out this short survey.(2-minutes tops)
One of my most popular workshops, RTOS Best Practices Workshop, will be taking place in mid January. The dates and times can be found here. If you register before January 1, 2023, you can use the coupon code WORKSHOP to register for only $250 ($100 off).

Happy Coding,

Jacob

Embedded Design Books

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
