Fast and Effective Embedded Systems Design: From bits and bytes to IoT, with the Arm Mbed, Third Edition is a fast-moving introduction to embedded systems design, applying the innovative ARM mbed and its web-based development environment. Each chapter introduces a major topic in embedded systems and proceeds as a series of practical experiments, adopting a "learning through doing" strategy. C/C++ programming is applied, with a step-by-step approach which allows readers to start coding quickly. Once the basics are covered, the book progresses to some "hot" embedded issues ‿ intelligent instrumentation, wireless and networked systems, digital audio and digital signal processing. In this new edition, all code is refreshed to be appropriate to the new Mbed operating system, with a lot of new code introduced. The principles of real time operating systems are explained, and the capabilities of the Mbed RTOS are clearly demonstrated in a series of practical examples.
