Fundamentals of Embedded Software: Where C and Assembly Meet

by Daniel W. Lewis (Author) | Paperback: 266 pages | Publisher: Prentice Hall; 1st edition (November 23, 2001) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 0130615897

Fundamentals of Embedded Software: Where C and Assembly Meet is a refreshing alternative to the traditional sophomore text on computer organization and assembly language programming. The text approaches assembly the way it is commonly used in practice to implement small, fast, or special-purpose routines called from a main program written in a high-level language such as C. By using an embedded software context, the text introduces multi-threaded programming, preemptive and non-preemptive systems, shared resources, and scheduling, thus providing a solid foundation for subsequent courses on operating systems, real-time systems, networking, and microprocessor-based design.

The text will help you:
* appreciate the often overlooked consequences and limitations of binary representation.
* implement fast real-number arithmetic using fixed-point reals instead of floating-point.
* reinforce your comprehension of scope, parameter passing, recursion, and memory allocation.
* employ features of C (such as bit-manipulation and variant access) commonly used in embedded software.
* write functions in Intel x86 protected mode assembly to be called from C.
* estimate maximum data rate and latency for various styles of I/O programming.
* manage multiple threads, shared resources, and critical sections.
* develop programming practices that avoid priority inversions, deadlocks, and shared memory problems.
