Embedded Systems

With more than 1200 microcontrollers, STM32 is probably the most complete ARM Cortex-M platform on the market. This book aims to be the most complete guide around introducing the reader to this exciting MCU portfolio from ST Microelectronics and its official CubeHAL and STM32CubeIDE development environment.

Master STM32 development from bare-metal programming to production-ready firmware. With clear explanations and practical C examples, this guide helps you build the skills to design efficient, reliable embedded systems using ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers.

Learn Lua from your first script to advanced programming techniques with a practical, hands-on guide. Whether you are building games, scripting applications, or exploring embedded systems, this book gives you the knowledge to write clean, efficient Lua code with confidence.

Build your own IoT projects including, environmental monitors that alert in real time, QR-code generators on tiny screens, ethical jamming demonstrations for protocol study, and alarm clocks that buzz and send notifications at the right moment.

Programming in the modern era requires power and efficiency, and C++23 signifies the beginning of that era. This book captures that demand. To take your C++ skills to the next level, This book is about creating and breaking down real-world examples. You'll discover techniques that you can immediately apply to your own work.

Build BMS systems that don’t lie, don’t drift, and don’t catch fire. A practical guide for engineers who need real answers, not theory.

Ready to turn Verilog code into real hardware? FPGA Programming with Verilog takes you from digital logic basics to complete FPGA designs, with practical examples, thorough testbenches and real-world projects covering communications, video, signal processing and system-on-chip design.

This practical guide gives you the skills to write efficient, reliable, and scalable firmware for modern microcontrollers and connected devices. Designed for developers with a working knowledge of C++, this book bridges the gap between theory and applied embedded development.

All those YouTube tutorials tell you how to set up your I2C device. Do they tell you what to do when it goes wrong? This book presents software engineers a view into how firmware engineers debug bus problems.

"Wired Protocols in Embedded Systems" is your essential guide to understanding how wired communication works in embedded systems. From UART and SPI to I²C and CAN, this book explains the core principles, advantages, and limitations of each protocol. Whether you're an embedded engineer, firmware developer, or Arduino enthusiast, you'll gain the knowledge needed to choose and implement the right protocol for your project. After all, even in the age of AI, it is still important to improve your own intelligence.

Embedded security is an architecture problem, not a checklist.This book shows how to build a coherent security design for real devices: what embedded cybersecurity means, why it’s different in embedded systems (constraints, lifecycle, physical access, limited patching), and how to turn that into practical design decisions. You’ll learn threat modeling and trust boundaries, then the core mechanisms that must work together: secure boot and root of trust, key management, secure communication, and robust firmware updates. Early access: updated regularly as new chapters and examples are added. Purchasers receive updates.

WARNING: The main goal of this book is to test Leanpub functionality, and all the information in this book can be found in my articles for the Interrupt by Memfault and PlatformIO blogs.So, there is no need to buy this book—you should only do so if you prefer reading information in book format or if you just want to buy me a coffee. :) This book is a collection of my articles originally published in the blogs Interrupt by Memfault and PlatformIO with some additional edits and enhancements.   A unique feature of this book is the extensive use of GIF animations and videos to visually demonstrate key concepts and processes. However, since not all EPUB readers support GIF and video playback, each animation and video is accompanied by a link to an external resource. Readers can follow these links to view the corresponding content and enhance their understanding. Repo with all GIF animation: https://github.com/Zamuhrishka/diving-into-jtag-book-animations

The definitive guide to programming on the ESP32.

An MBSE workflow for automotive systems engineering teams — run V-model programmes on real agile sprints, with ASPICE and ISO 26262 evidence produced as you go, not reconstructed before the audit.

Master AArch64 assembly with a practical guide that covers ARM64 fundamentals, advanced instruction sets, performance optimization, debugging, and systems programming. From your first instructions to writing efficient low-level code, this book provides the knowledge and hands-on examples you need.
