What this book covers
Chapter 1, What Are Embedded Systems? makes you familiar with what an embedded system entails. By looking at the various categories and examples of embedded systems in each category, a good overview of what is meant with the term embedded and the wide variety within that term should be formed. It explores the wide range of historic and currently available microcontrollers and system-on-chip solutions you can find in existing systems as well as new designs.
Chapter 2, C++ as an Embedded Language, explains why C++ is actually as nimble as C and similar languages. Not only is C++ generally at least as fast as C, there is no additional bloat, and it offers many advantages with code paradigms and maintainability.
