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.

Most embedded teams say they “avoid OOP” and “stick to C.” But look closely at real C codebases and you’ll find function-pointer tables, opaque handles, and generic device arrays—manual object models built the hard way. Beyond Blinky shows how to embrace that reality consciously, using modern C++ to design firmware that is readable, portable, and owned—without sacrificing performance or control. This book is about moving past the blinking LED mindset and designing embedded systems as living architectures, not scripts. To blinky and beyond—Let's make your IO sing!

Most programmers never touch the machine.They live inside frameworks. They trust kernels. They inherit latency, abstraction, and hidden behavior they do not control.And they call that “systems programming.”Bare Metal Computing With X64 — Low Level Coding of Native Instructions is for the engineer who wants authority, not convenience

Stop writing code that only works on your laptop.Your O(n²) sorting algorithm runs fine on an i9 processor. But on a Cortex-M4 with 2KB of RAM? It crashes the stack.AlgoEmbedded is the first textbook that stops teaching "Computer Science" and starts teaching Embedded Engineering. Learn how to adapt standard algorithms for the constraints of the real world.

Ever wanted to learn how to program a robot? Afraid that programming is too hard? A Gentle Introduction to Robotics will have you up and running a robot around in no time!

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.

From SwiftUI fundamentals and HealthKit integration to connectivity, complications, and App Store deployment, this practical guide teaches you everything you need to create fast, intuitive watchOS experiences that users will love wearing every day.

Whether you're new to Arduino or building more advanced projects, this book covers everything from basic electronics and C/C++ to sensors, robotics, IoT and cloud-connected applications. With clear explanations and hands-on projects, it's a practical guide you'll keep coming back to.

No RTOS. No dynamic allocator. No hand-waving. Just bare-metal Rust on the nRF52840 — from first flash to interrupt-driven concurrency in 10 days, with buildable code for every chapter.

This third edition covers Rust 1.85 and the Rust 2024 Edition in full. The new chapters on concurrency, the 2024 edition migration, GPU computing, Go integration, and Linux kernel programming show where the Rust community has moved since the second edition, and where systems programming as a discipline is heading. You might be writing your first Rust function or your hundredth production service, but I hope this book makes the language feel less like a puzzle and more like a tool you are already familiar with. That was the only goal I had when I wrote it.
