Embedded Systems: Real-Time Operating Systems for ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers Kindle Edition

It's a good book.Cons first since I am giving only three stars (changed it to 4 since the author really makes an incredible effort to produce a ton of material):1. It is directed towards RTOS. However the RTOS focus is rather lacking.2. All RTOS concepts are explained theoretically. However, there are almost no real complete examples developed.3. The websites (s) supporting the book also don't contain a lot of RTOS support.Recommendation on a new version:Ditch many of the chapters on the ARM concepts. They are all important, but they are already covered in great length in the first two books. I don't see the need to re explain NVIC, UART, USB, GPIO to the great length it is detailed. This is actually pretty good data with many developed projects, and it would be fine to have this if the RTOS focus was more, say at least 3 more chapters detailing an example with tasks, semaphores, you would have to pick a particular RTOS but I think that would be ok, they are all a bit similar. Since RTOS is not fully developed then all the "other" good data seemed to pad the book.Pros:There is a ton of data on everything about the cortex M MCU. I mean a ton of data and fully developed projects for all. You name it, and there is a fully developed project with detailed explanations....

The author is NOT a software Engineer, he is an EE. (Personal prejudiced, I have not found many EEs that are good at software engineering.) As a result there are plenty of circuit examples, and probably many are useful, but the RTOS information is shallow and incomplete. If the author is going to presume to write about Real-Time Operating Systems, in todays world, he should include some mention of multi-core chips and processor to processor communication. There should be more information about Memory Barrier instructions, and how to use them, than about Maxim chips. More about effectively using the interrupt controller (NVIC) than about digital signal processing. The author stays preliminarily with TI/Luminary Micro ARM products. Not bad, but a limited set. None of these things are bad, in and of themselves, but they are secondary to the title topic - Real-Time Operating Systems for ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers.The book is also self-published, presumably to reduce its cost. I don't see it. I have also found that it has numerous typographical errors throughout. This is the second edition, I hope that the author gets a good proofreader before publishing the third edition.The book may be a fair introduction for the high school student or freshman in college, but it is certainly not sufficient for a true course in Real-Time Operating Systems at any level.Buy if for reference, if some of the examples are useful. Do not buy it to learn Real-Time Operating Systems.

Book in great condition and shipped fast! Thanks!

I just wish that there was more meat to the applications instead of just being simple examples...I assume that the author just leaves this to the end user! I think the concepts are great, for example using linked lists to pass in sequential state. The use of FIFOs in communications, but I feel that there is more to be desired in this modern age where good examples seem to be lacking...It is possible they fall under the rankings of IP and that is something a lot of authors seem to stay clear of...

The explanations in the book are clear, and the chapter follows the Real-Time embedded operating systems course at UT very well.

I like the flow of the book. The requirements for embedded professional are touched in this book. Good for beginners

good

Great Teacher. Hard to get quality books for learning embedded systems. This one isn't magic by far but is as good as it gets.

This book is thoroughly recommended. It provides a clear and concise approach to the subject, and presents the core setup requirements for starting your own projects. The theory is explained very well, with the code, structures, and implementation presented to ensure that you can progress through the book without questions on which parts are missing, or how to design the code. This aspect is critical to learning about how to understand embedded systems, as opposed to a pure theoretical publication, where you would be left wondering how to implement the theory. The book presentation style is easy to read, and there are detailed explanations of the code, whether C, or machine code.

Good book for everyone interested in microcontrollers and operating systems.

Dado a quantidade de páginas, e o título destacando a expressão "real time" system, seria de se esperar dedicar um pouco mais de esforço na apresentação e descrição das inúmeras outras funcionalidades dos RTOS comumente utilizados, particularmente as funções e variáveis.Também, a menção frequente á trechos empregando a linguagem Assembly tornou o conteúdo um tanto disperso, principalmente se consideramos que as bibliotecas comerciais ou de uso aberto são escritas em linguagem C.No mais, a obra pode ser considerada mais como um texto complementar de revisão do assunto, não uma referencia como um todo.

It is a very good tool for embedded systems designers! There is a ton of data on everything about the cortex M MCU. I mean a ton of data and fully developed projects for all. You name it, and there is a fully developed project with detailed explanations....

Ottimo libro; tratti degli argomenti sono riportati dagli altri due volumi. Questo non sminuisce la chiarezza dell'esposizione. Soddisfatto per averlo acquistato.
