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