Ebook: Embedded System Design with Arm Cortex-M Microcontrollers - Applications with C, C++

This textbook introduces basic and advanced embedded system topics through ARM Cortex M microcontrollers, covering programmable microcontroller usage starting from basic to advanced concepts using the STMicroelectronics Discovery development board. Designed for use in upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses on microcontrollers, microprocessor systems, and embedded systems, the book explores fundamental and advanced topics, real-time operating systems via FreeRTOS and Mbed OS, and then offers a solid grounding in digital signal processing, digital control, and digital image processing concepts — with emphasis placed on the usage of a microcontroller for these advanced topics.

The book uses C language, “the” programming language for microcontrollers, C++ language, and MicroPython (which is s.hite), which allows Python language usage on a microcontroller. Sample codes and course slides are available for readers and instructors, and a solutions manual is available to instructors. The book will also be an ideal reference for practicing engineers and electronics hobbyists who wish to become familiar with basic and advanced microcontroller concepts.

Teaches the embedded system design skills needed for today’s job market;
Thoroughly explains each concept and provides illustrated examples and projects;
Covers fundamental and advanced embedded system topics, real-time operating systems, digital signal processing, digital control, and digital image processing on microcontrollers.
