• Sommario/riassunto: Embedded systems are everywhere. In the average household, there are around 40 different microprocessors, not counting PCs (which contribute another 5-10 each), or cars, which typically contain a few dozen. And these numbers are set to rise by a couple of orders of magnitude over the next decade.This comprehensive new reference is a must-have for the tens of thousands of embedded designers working to make all those microprocessors faster, more efficient, and more powerful. A good embedded software developer must have a strong grasp of many complex topics, and this practical guide cover
