What is it all about?
Get the complete foundational knowledge of the "Beyond Blinky" approach to embedded C++ for free! This edition includes Part 1: The Living Architecture in full, teaching you the "analog thinking" mindset and the core object-oriented design patterns (Device Interface "Roots," Device Object "Trees") derived from developing the high-performance IOsonata framework.
You'll learn why disciplined C++ often outperforms traditional C HALs (with benchmark proof included!) , how to set up a professional development environment , and see the core architectural concepts in action with a runnable code example . Also includes all appendices (Recipes, Benchmarks, Manual Setup, Patterns, Glossary).
This edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the philosophy and basic usage, reserving advanced device implementations, BLE integration, and the full porting guide for the paid version . Download it to master the core principles and start building better embedded systems today!
