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.

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.

"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.

If You’re Designing Edge Systems the Way Blog Posts Describe Them…You’re Already Behind.Most edge computing material sounds impressive—until you try to deploy it at scale.Then the failures show up: Latency explodes. State breaks. Control planes collapse. Security assumptions fail. Operations become unmanageable.That’s because edge computing is not a product category. It’s a large-scale distributed systems problem—with harsher constraints than the cloud.This book is written for people who actually have to make those systems work.

Descriptions, Discussion, and Selected Source Modules illustrating State Machines, Event Handlers, Message Pumps, Fibers, and Event-triggered, Interacting State Machines. A demo program can be downloaded and run on an STM32F746G_DISCO board.

The definitive guide to programming on the ESP32.

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
