When asked, "What is the biggest factor influencing processor
choice for new projects?" engineers overwhelmingly agree that the
robustness of the processors' attendant software is the key
linchpin of the decision. Not speed, not price, but available
software. Because software has become the driving factor in the
development of embedded systems, middleware, the "glue" allowing
hardware and software to work together effectively, has taken on a
role of pivotal importance. However, middleware is perhaps the most
mysterious of all the aspects of an embedded system, even to expert
designers! Available information is scattered and mostly
proprietary, not to mention largely outdated, and obfuscated by a
sea of acronyms. This practical technical guide to embedded
middleware implementation offers a coherent framework that guides
readers through all the key concepts necessary to gain a clear
understanding of this broad and diverse topic. Big picture
theoretical discussion is integrated with down-to-earth advice on
successful real-world use via step-by-step examples of each type of
middleware implementation. Hundreds of diagrams help the reader to
visualize the complexities of the wide variety of embedded
middleware that exists in the industry today. Technically detailed
case studies help to bring it all together, providing valuable
insight into the typical engineering situations readers are likely
to encounter. Expert author Tammy Noergaard keeps explanations as
simple and readable as possible, eschewing jargon and carefully
defining acronyms. The start of each chapter includes a 'setting
the stage' section, so readers can take a step back and understand
the context and applications of theinformation being provided. Core
middleware, such as networking protocols, file systems, virtual
machines, and databases; more complex middleware that builds upon
generic pieces, such as MOM, ORB, and RPC; and integrated
middleware software packages, such as embedded JVMs, .NET, and
CORBA packages are all demystified. A free companion CD-ROM
includes all the open-source code utilized by the author in
examples, so that readers can obtain hands-on programming
experience without making any further purchase.
"This book fills a void. Most books address only portions of the embedded problem. As the title indicates, this one is uniquely comprehensive. I consider it a must-read" --Review of the 1st Edition. Jack Ganssle, embedded author, lecturer, consultant. Embedded Systems Architecture is a practical and technical guide to 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; and also for students of computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering. It gives a much-needed big picture for recently graduated engineers grappling with understanding the design of real-world systems for the first time, and provides professionals with a systems-level picture of the key elements that can go into an embedded design, providing a firm foundation on which to build their skills. * Real-world approach to the fundamentals, as well as the design and architecture process, makes this book a popular reference for the daunted or the inexperienced: if in doubt, the answer is in here * Fully updated with new coverage of FPGAs, testing, middleware and the latest programming techniques in C, plus complete source code and sample code, reference designs and tools online make this the complete package * Visit the companion web site at http: //booksite.elsevier.com/9780123821966/ for source code, design examples, data sheets and more. A true introductory book, provides a comprehensive get up and
running reference for those new to the field, and updating skills:
assumes no prior knowledge beyond undergrad level electrical
engineering.
