Embedded Software Development The Open-Source Approach

"... provides a consistent description covering many aspects of embedded systems development and explains their interrelationships, which is a very important complement to other in-depth literature. ... As such, this book fills a gap ... and will prove valuable to students and professionals who need a single, coherent source of information."
-Kristian Sandström, ABB Corporate Research, Västerås, Sweden, from IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine, March 2016

"... a brilliant and complete self-empowering guide through the labyrinth of embedded software development while riding the open-source motorbike."
-Wolfgang Betz, Principal Engineer, STMicroelectronics S.R.L., Milan, Italy

"... a solid, grounded, and highly readable introduction to embedded software development where resource management, proper execution model selection, and deterministic behavior matter A LOT. In my field of safety and mission-critical development, the first principles explained in this book are the foundation upon which all other embedded software development depends. This book provides readers with an explanation of embedded software principles built on current and relevant examples."
-Thomas Ferrell, FAA Consulting, Inc., Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

"The book is technically sound and solidly rooted in the significant experience and professional background of the authors, so that readers needing or simply wishing to learn about embedded software development can perfectly rely on its clear and comprehensive coverage. ... References constantly made to open-source s/w components and their discussion throughout the book offer precious added value. ... The best way to synthesize the authors' work with only one term: balance of theory and practice, informality and rigor of presentation, concepts and implementation, conciseness and clarity."
-Adriano Valenzano, IEIIT-CNR, National Research Council of Italy, Torino
