About this book

Discover how to apply software engineering patterns to develop more robustfirmware faster than traditional embedded development approaches.In the authors' experience, traditionalembedded software projects tend towards monolithic applications that are optimized for their targethardware platforms. This leads to software that is fragile in terms of extensibility and difficult to test without fully integrated software and hardware. Patterns in the Machine focuses on creating loosely coupledimplementations that embrace both change and testability.

This book illustrates how implementing continuous integration, automated unit testing, platform-independent code, and other best practices that are not typically implemented in the embeddedsystems world is not just feasible but also practical for today's embedded projects.

After reading this book, you will have a better idea of how to structure your embedded softwareprojects. You will recognize that while writing unit tests, creating simulators, and implementingcontinuous integration requires time and effort up front, you will be amply rewarded at the end of the projectin terms of quality, adaptability, and maintainability of your code.

What You Will Learn

Incorporate automated unit testing into an embedded project
Design and build functional simulators for an embedded project
Write production-quality software when hardware is not available
Use the Data Model architectural pattern to create a highly decoupled design and implementation
Understand the importance of defining the software architecture before implementationstarts and how to do it
Discover why documentation is essential for an embeddedproject
Use finite state machines in embedded projects

Who This Book Is For

Mid-level or higher embedded systems (firmware) developers, technical leads, software architects, and development managers.
