Fast and Effective Embedded Systems Design: Applying the ARM mbed (Paperback)

• A hands-on introduction to the field of embedded systems;
• A focus on fast prototyping of embedded systems;
• All key embedded system concepts covered through simple and effective experimentation;
• An understanding of ARM technology, one of the world's leaders;
• A practical introduction to embedded C;
• Applies possibly the most accessible set of tools available in the embedded world.

 This book is an introduction to embedded systems design, using the ARM mbed and C programming language as development tools.

The mbed provides a compact, self-contained and low-cost hardware core, and the on-line compiler requires no download or installation, being accessible wherever an internet link exists. The book further combines these with a simple "breadboard" approach, whereby simple circuits are built up around the mbed, with no soldering or pcb assembly required.

The book adopts a "learning through doing" approach. Each chapter is based around a major topic in embedded systems. The chapter proceeds as a series of practical experiments; the reader sets up a simple hardware system, develops and downloads a simple program, and immediately observes and tests the outcomes. The book then reflects on the experimental results, evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the technology or technique introduced, explores how precise the link is between theory and practice, and considers applications and the wider context.

• The only book that explains how to use ARM's mbed development toolkit to help the speedy and easy development of embedded systems.
• Teaches embedded systems core principles in the context of developing quick applications, making embedded systems development an easy task for the non specialist who does not have a deep knowledge of electronics or software

• All key concepts are covered through simple and effective experimentation

這本書是一本介紹嵌入式系統設計的入門書，使用ARM mbed和C編程語言作為開發工具。

mbed提供了一個緊湊、自包含和低成本的硬件核心，而在線編譯器不需要下載或安裝，只要有互聯網連接就可以使用。該書還結合了一種簡單的“麵包板”方法，即在mbed周圍構建簡單的電路，無需焊接或PCB組件。

該書採用“學以致用”的方法。每一章都圍繞著嵌入式系統的一個主要主題展開。每章都以一系列實際實驗為基礎；讀者建立一個簡單的硬件系統，開發並下載一個簡單的程序，並立即觀察和測試結果。然後，書籍對實驗結果進行反思，評估介紹的技術或技巧的優點和缺點，探討理論和實踐之間的聯繫有多精確，並考慮應用和更廣泛的背景。

這是唯一一本解釋如何使用ARM的mbed開發工具包來幫助快速和簡便地開發嵌入式系統的書籍。它以開發快速應用程序的背景下教授嵌入式系統的核心原則，使得對電子學或軟件沒有深入了解的非專業人士能夠輕鬆進行嵌入式系統開發。

所有關鍵概念都通過簡單而有效的實驗來介紹。
