Discover how to apply software engineering patterns to develop more robustampampampnbspfirmware faster than traditional embedded development approaches.ampampampnbspIn the authors experience traditionalampampampnbspembedded software projects tend towards monolithic applications that are optimized for their targetampampampnbsphardware platforms. This leads to software that is fragile in terms of extensibility and difficult to test without fully integrated software and hardware.ampampampnbspPatterns in the Machine focuses on creating loosely coupledampampampnbspimplementations that embrace both change and testability. This book illustrates how implementing continuous integration automated unit testingampampampnbspplatformindependent code and other best practices that are not typically implemented in the embeddedampampampnbspsystems world is not just feasible but also practical for todays embedded projects.
