Book Description

Cortex-M has been around since 2004, so why a new book now? With new microcontrollers based on the Cortex-M55 and Cortex-M85 being introduced this year, Cortex-M continues to expand. New software concepts, such as standardized software reuse, have emerged alongside new topics including security and machine learning. Development methodologies have also significantly advanced, with more embedded development taking place in the cloud and increased levels of automation. Due to these advances, a single engineer can no longer understand an entire project and requires new skills to be successful.

This book provides a unique view of how to navigate and apply the latest concepts in microcontroller development. The book is split into two parts. First, you'll be guided through how to select the ideal set of hardware, software, and tools for your specific project. Next, you'll explore how to implement essential topics for modern embedded developers. Throughout the book, there are examples for you to learn by working with real Cortex-M devices with all software available on GitHub. You will gain experience with the small Cortex-M0+, the powerful Cortex-M55, and more Cortex-M processors.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to practically apply modern Cortex-M software development concepts.

What you will learn

• Familiarize yourself with heuristics to identify the right components for your Cortex-M project
• Boot code to efficiently start up a Cortex-M device
• Optimize algorithms with compilers, middleware, and other means
• Get to grips with machine learning frameworks and implementation techniques
• Understand security in the embedded space with solutions like TrustZone and TF-M
• Explore cloud-based development methodologies to increase efficiency
• Dive into continuous integration frameworks and best practices
• Identify future trends that could impact Cortex-M software development

Who this book is for

This book is for practicing engineers and students working with embedded and IoT systems who want to quickly learn how to develop quality software for Arm Cortex-M processors without reading long technical manuals. If you're looking for a book that explains C or assembly language programming for the purpose of creating a single application or mastering a type of programming such as digital signal processing algorithms, then this book is NOT for you. A basic understanding of embedded hardware and software, along with general C programming skills will assist with understanding the concepts covered in this book.

書籍描述：
Cortex-M自2004年以來一直存在，那為什麼現在需要一本新書呢？隨著今年推出基於Cortex-M55和Cortex-M85的新型微控制器，Cortex-M持續擴展。新的軟體概念，如標準化軟體重用，與安全性和機器學習等新主題一起出現。開發方法論也有了顯著進步，嵌入式開發在雲端中進行的情況越來越多，自動化程度也提高了。由於這些進步，單一工程師無法再完全理解整個項目，需要掌握新的技能才能取得成功。

本書提供了如何在微控制器開發中應用最新概念的獨特視角。本書分為兩部分。首先，將引導您選擇適合您特定項目的理想硬體、軟體和工具組合。接下來，您將探索現代嵌入式開發人員的基本主題的實現方式。整本書中都有示例供您使用真實的Cortex-M設備進行學習，所有軟體都可在GitHub上獲得。您將獲得使用小型Cortex-M0+、強大的Cortex-M55和其他Cortex-M處理器的實踐經驗。

通過閱讀本書，您將能夠實際應用現代Cortex-M軟體開發概念。

您將學到什麼：
- 熟悉啟動Cortex-M設備的啟動代碼
- 使用編譯器、中間件和其他方法優化演算法
- 掌握機器學習框架和實現技術
- 瞭解嵌入式空間中的安全性，如TrustZone和TF-M等解決方案
- 探索基於雲端的開發方法論以提高效率
- 深入研究持續整合框架和最佳實踐
- 確定可能影響Cortex-M軟體開發的未來趨勢

本書適合專業工程師和從事嵌入式和物聯網系統開發的學生，他們希望能夠快速學習如何為Arm Cortex-M處理器開發高質量軟體，而不需要閱讀冗長的技術手冊。如果您正在尋找一本解釋C或組合語言編程的書，目的是創建單個應用程式或精通某種類型的編程，例如數字信號處理演算法，那麼本書不適合您。對嵌入式硬體和軟體有基本的理解，以及一般的C編程技能，將有助於理解本書中涵蓋的概念。
