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.

Get started with the latest versions of Java, JavaFX, Pi4J, Spring, and so much more. Learn the power (and fun!) of experimenting with electronics. All explained in many small and easy-to-understand examples.
