• Understand and implement the steps required to increase the security of IoT solutions
• Build safety-critical and memory-safe parallel and distributed embedded systems

Book Description

“Embedded Systems Architecture” provides an overview of embedded development and how it differs from other systems. You will gain an understanding of the internal workings of various components in real-world systems. The book starts by setting up a development environment, explores system designs, boot-up mechanisms, and memory management. You will learn about the programming interface and device drivers to establish communication via TCP/IP. Security is also covered extensively. The book concludes with multithreaded operating systems through the development of a scheduler and the use of hardware-assisted trusted execution mechanisms.

By reading this book, you will have the confidence to work with embedded systems at an architectural level. You will gain valuable insights into various aspects of embedded software development on microcontrollers such as memory management, multithreading, and RTOS. The book’s approach is oriented towards memory isolation.

What you will learn

• Participate in the design and definition phase of an embedded product
• Write code for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers
• Build an embedded development lab and optimize the workflow
• Secure embedded systems with TLS
• Get insight into the architecture behind the communication interfaces
• Understand the design and development patterns for connected and distributed devices in the IoT
• Master multitasking parallel execution patterns and real-time operating systems
• Become familiar with Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)
