Summary This book gives the knowledge, methods and techniques to develop and manage embedded systems successfully. It shows that teamwork, development procedures, and program management require unique and wide-ranging skills to develop a system--skills that most people can attain with persistence and effort. Features include: case studies that show the implementation of key ideas, the rationale for choices made, and design guidelines and trade-offs; coverage of the life cycle for developing an embedded system: program management, procedures for design and development, manufacturing, maintenance, logistics, and legal issues; includes proven and practical techniques and advice on tackling critical issues reflecting the authors' expertise developed from years of experience. -- Edited summary from book.
