DESCRIPTION:
. James K. He is also the founder of Oxford Consulting, Ltd., a product design and development consulting firm. Peckol is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington - Seattle, where he has twice been named Teacher of the Year
Embedded systems give us the ability to put increasingly large amounts of capability into ever-smaller devices. Author James Peckol walks you through the formal hardware and software development process, covering:How to break the problem down into major functional blocksPlanning the digital and software architecture of the systemDesigning the physical world interface to external analog and digital signalsDebugging and testing throughout the development cycleImproving performanceStressing the importance of safety and reliability in the design and development of embedded systems and providing a balance treatment of both the hardware and software aspects of embedded systems, Embedded Systems gives you the right tools for developing safe, reliable, and robust solutions in a wide range of embedded applications.. Embedded Syst
Embedded systems give us the ability to put increasingly large amounts of capability into ever-smaller devices. Embedded Systems: A Contemporary Design Tool introduces you to the theoretical and software foundations of these systems, and shows you how to apply embedded systems concepts to design practical applications that solve real-world challenges. Embedded systems exposed! From operating our cars, to controlling the elevators we ride, to doing our laundry or cooking our dinner, the special computers we call embedded systems are quietly and unobtrusively doing their jobs. Taking the user's problem and needs as your starting point, you'll delve into each of the key theoretical and practical aspects to consider when designing an application. Author James Peckol walks you through the formal hardware and software development process, covering: * How to break the problem down into major functional blocks * Planning the digital and software architecture of the system * Designing t
"A book every embedded systems engineer should own" according to kimmer2k. I have used this text as reference to design and implement numerous embedded systems - from a simple numbers game to a wireless glove guitar.The materials presented in this book walks you through the entire hardware/software thought process that is applicable to any engineering design. The book stresses the importance of developing a modular high-level design before any implementation - and to consider things such as use cases,extreme cases, scalability, performance, and safety. The book also goes over the importance of documentation - . "An excellent read for anyone interested in embedded systems!" according to jrob. I used portions of this text during several embedded systems courses with Dr Peckol and it truly is an excellent resource and tool for an embedded engineer. It is a current, detailed, yet easily understandable look into all the aspects involved with embedded systems. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in this field or actively studying or working with embedded systems as you will no doubt benefit from Dr Peckol's insight.. Review from a former student M. Wang As a former student of Professor James Peckol and having read portions of this book in my spare time, I can assure any prospective students looking for a secondary reference that this is book to get!This book provides the design processes and methodologies used in the real world (I am now in industry so I can attest to this) with some great examples. If you can take his class this is the next best thing
