CHAPTER SUMMARY

We encounter hundreds of embedded systems every day. Their diversity defies any effort to define them. The design and programming of these systems require us to think in different ways about hardware, software, and operating systems. The principle of equivalence of hardware and software gives designers maximum flexibility in engineering for performance and economy. Programming embedded systems requires a deep understanding of hardware and the ability to think in terms of timing and events. Embedded systems designers draw on every aspect of their computer science or engineering education. Mastery of the principles of computer organization and architecture is essential to success in this field. A deep understanding of operating ...
