Sommario/riassunto

Build secure and reliable IoT applications for micro:bit and Raspberry Pi Pico by using Rust and Tock. One of the first Operating Systems written in Rust, Tock is designed to safely run multiple applications on low power devices, enabling you to build a secure foundation for IoT systems. It is an open-source OS that has recently gained popularity as companies such as Google[1] explore and integrate it into their products. This book guides you through the steps necessary to customize and integrate Tock into your devices. First, you'll explore the characteristics of Tock and how to run it on two of the most popular IoT platforms: micro:bit and Raspberry Pi Pico. You'll also take a look at Rust and how to use it for building secure applications with T6ock. The book focuses on the Tock kernel internals and presents the steps necessary to integrate new features. From simple drivers to the more complex asynchronous ones, you are provided with a detailed description of the Tock kernel API. Next, you'll review the Tock applications framework for C. Starting from simple Tock APIs to the more complex Inter-Process Communication system, this book provides a complete overview of the Tock application ecosystem. By taking a practical approach, Getting Started with Secure Embedded Systems provides a starting point for building a secure IoT foundation using the Tock Operating System. You will: Use Rust for embedded systems development Write applications and drivers for Tock Customize the Tock kernel for specific hardware platforms Set a solid base for building secure and reliable IoT applications Use Tock to ensure the security of your microcontrollers and integrate them into your projects Manage products that rely on Tock Who This Book Is For IoT system designers, developers, and integrators who are familiar with operating systems concepts. The book can also be suitable for people with less experience, who want to gain an overview of the latest hardware and software technologies related to building secure IoT systems.

Sommario/riassunto

'Age as Disease provides important insights into the interconnections between biopolitics, ethics, and somatechnics, and how biological and medical language and metaphors shape social policies and support ageist positions. By reflecting these meeting points in terms of cultural representations, the book contributes significantly to the current discussions within the fields of Age/ing Studies and Cultural Gerontology and helps deconstruct notions of age/ing as essential and natural which ignore the different cultural meanings depending on time and place.' -Roberta Maierhofer, Professor, Center for Inter-American Studies, University of Graz, Austria 'Dr Fletcher's work is an astute



examination of the construction of old age as a "disease" that must be fixed or avoided. Drawing on a plethora of philosophers including Foucault and Levinas, Fletcher provides an engaging discourse on what it means to be "old" in an age obsessed with youth. Bringing together biopolitics, science and philosophy, he persuasively illustrates the ways in which ageist attitudes are maintained and engrained in social discourse. This comprehensive study is an essential addition to the fields of cultural studies, gerontology and somatechnics, successfully critiquing the construction of the ultimate "Other": the elderly.' -Dr Siobhan Lyons, Media Scholar, Macquarie University and author of Death and the Machine (2018) Age as Disease explores the foundations of gerontology as a discipline to examine the ways contemporary society constructs old age as a disease-state. Framed throughout as 'gerontological hygeine', this book examines contemporary regimes, strategies and treatment protocols deployed throughout Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The book deploys critical cultural theories such as biopolitics, somatechnics, ethics, and governmentality to examine how anti-aging technologies operate to problematise the aging body as always-already diseased, and how these come to constitute a movement of abolition, named here as 'gerontological hygiene'.
