Programming Embedded Systems in C and C ++

Description: Embedded software is in almost every electronic device designed today. There is software hidden away inside our watches, microwaves, VCRs, cellular telephones, and pagers; the military uses embedded software to guide smart missiles and detect enemy aircraft; communications satellites, space probes, and modern medicine would be nearly impossible without it. Of course, someone has to write all that software, and there are thousands of computer scientists, electrical engineers, and other professionals who actually do.

Each embedded system is unique and highly customized to the application at hand. As a result, embedded systems programming is a widely varying field that can take years to master. However, if you have some programming experience and are familiar with C or C++, you're ready to learn how to write embedded software. The hands-on, no-nonsense style of this book will help you get started by offering practical advice from someone who's been in your shoes and wants to help you learn quickly

The techniques and code examples presented here are directly applicable to real-world embedded software projects of all sorts. Even if you've done some embedded programming before, you'll still benefit from the topics in this book, which include:

* Testing memory chips quickly and efficiently
* Writing and erasing Flash memory
* Verifying nonvolatile memory contents with CRCs
* Interfacing to on-chip and external peripherals
* Device driver design and implementation
* Optimizing embedded software for size and speed

So whether you're writing your first embedded program, designing the latest generation of hand-held whatchamacalits, or simply managing the people who do, this book is for you.

Visual C++ .NET Optimization with Assembly Code

Describing how the Assembly language can be used to develop highly effective C++ applications, this guide covers the development of 32-bit applications for Windows. Areas of focus include optimizing high-level logical structures, creating effective mathematical algorithms, and working with strings and arrays. Code optimization is considered for the Intel platform, taking into account features of the latest models of Intel Pentium processors and how using Assembly code in C++ applications can improve application processing. The use of an assembler to optimize C++ applications is examined in two ways, by developing and compiling Assembly modules that can be linked with the main program written in C++ and using the built-in assembler. Microsoft Visual C++ .Net 2003 is explored as a programming tool, and both the MASM 6.14 and IA-32 assembler compilers, which are used to compile source modules, are considered.

As one of the most powerful development tools, the Microsoft Visual C++ .NET development environment offers the programmer a wide variety of features for the development of applications of any type and level of complexity. Nevertheless, most serious applications are written with much manual work. This is because none of the high-level language development tools can provide maximum performance. This is the truth based on the structure and semantics of high-level languages.

A possible solution to the application optimization problem is the use of assembly language. Note that it is possible to write an application without using this language. There are many programs that do not require optimization. However, with regard to real-time applications, device drivers, multimedia applications, sound processing applications, graphics applications, and any applications, for which the time of execution is important, the use of assembly language is inevitable because no other optimization method will work.

This book will focus on the use of assembly language in programs created with Visual C++ .NET 2003, currently the most powerful C++ development environment. The material of this book will disclose two relatively independent aspects of using it as a stand-alone tool for creating individual procedures in the form of object modules and as a built-in tool integrated in C++ .NET. Microsoft continually improves the inline assembler.

This book is not a tutorial on assembly language, nor on C++ .NET. It assumes that you have a certain knowledge of these programming areas.

Memory As A Programming Concept In C And C++

The motivation for this book came from years of observing computer science students at universities as well as professional programmers working in software development. I had come to the conclusion that there seemed to be a gap in their understanding of programming. They usually understood the syntax of the programming language they were using and had a reasonable grasp of such topics as algorithms and data structures. However, a program is not executed in a vacuum; it is executed in computer memory. This simple fact exerts a powerful influence on the actual behavior of the program - or, expressed more precisely, a subtle yet powerful influence on the semantics of the particular programming language. I had observed that many students and programmers did not fully understand how memory affected the behavior of the C and C++ programs they were designing. This book is an attempt to fill this gap and provide students and programmers alike with a text that is focused on this topic.

The overwhelming majority of program bugs and computer crashes stem from problems of memory access, allocation, or deallocation. Such memory-related problems are also notoriously difficult to debug. Yet the role that memory plays in C and C++ programming is a subject often overlooked in courses and books because it requires specialized knowledge of operating systems, compilers, and computer architecture in addition to a familiarity with the language themselves. Most professional programmers learn about memory entirely through experience of the trouble it causes.

This book provides students and professional programmers with a concise yet comprehensive view of the role that memory plays in all aspects of programming and program behavior. Assuming only a basic familiarity with C or C++, the author describes the techniques, methods, and tools available to deal with the problems related to memory and its effective use.

The Linux Programmers Toolbox - Prentice Hall

Kernighan and Ritchie show readers how to program the standard C libraries. Stevens covers the network programming interfaces in UNIX. But neither covers the tools developers need to master to be productive in Linux: compilers, debuggers, source code control, packaging etc…This book is the professional developer's guide to these tools. Linux as a software development platform is rich in tools - hundreds of tools, with new ones being developed all the time. Experienced C and C++ developers moving to Linux for the first time need to understand which tools are the best, and how to use them. This book is their guide. The book begins with a discussion of how to install, patch, and manage software development tools on a linux system. It then proceeds to cover editors, source code control tools, code beautifiers, IDEs, and revision control tools. The next two sections deal with configuring a build environment and working with documentation tools including texinfo, docbook, modinfo, and others. The book ends with a chapter on popular debugging tools and techniques, and another on the powerful but often bewildering performance tools available on Linux systems. The book is in the Arnold Robbins Linux Programming by Example Series. As is true of all books in this series, the book will use real program code from working programs to illustrate all key concepts.

Object-Oriented Programming in C++, 3rd Edition

Why is everyone so excited about OOP? The chief problem with computer programs is complexity. Large programs are probably the most complicated entities ever created by humans. Because of this complexity, programs are prone to error, and software errors can be expensive and even life threatening (in air-traffic control, for example). Object-Oriented Programming offers a new and powerful way to cope with this complexity. Its goal is clearer, more reliable, more easily maintained programs.

Of the Object-Oriented Programming languages, C++ is by far the most widely used. (Java, a recent addition to the field of OO languages, lacks certain features, such as pointers, that make it less powerful and versatile than C++.)

This book teaches Object-Oriented Programming with the C++ programming language, using either Microsoft or Borland compilers. It is suitable for professional programmers, students, and kitchen-table enthusiasts.

You can use this book even if you have no previous programming experience. However, such experience, in BASIC or Pascal, for example, certainly won’t hurt.

You do not need to know the C language to use this book. Many books on C++ assume that you already know C, but this one does not. It teaches C++ from the ground up. If you do know C, it won’t hurt, but you may be surprised at how little overlap there is between C and C++.

You should be familiar with the basic operations of Microsoft Windows, such as starting applications and copying files.
