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 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

Learn C by proving your code correct before you write it. The same methodology behind certified aerospace and medical systems - now applied to learning C from the ground up.

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.

Learn how to design embedded systems the sane way: on your Linux host, with modern C++, predictable timing, clean interfaces, and no unnecessary complexity.

The definitive guide to programming on the ESP32.

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.

A practical engineer’s guide to feedback, stability, PID tuning, and state space control—with real-world examples and Python simulations.

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.

A 1986 text adventure game written inside the Cray I/O Subsystem turns out to be architecturally isomorphic to modern transformer design. This capstone volume uses the playable game and its assembly language source as a case study in constraint-based design, including the bare metal thinking we stopped teaching around 1995.

Most code generation is about saving time.This book is about eliminating entire categories of errors.Instead of writing code first, you define the system—its data, its flow, and its structure—and generate the implementation deterministically. No hidden behavior. No runtime frameworks. No guesswork.If you care about building systems that remain understandable years later, this approach changes how you think about software.

Device Mapper is the invisible engine behind LVM, LUKS, dm-verity, and thin provisioning — yet most engineers never look under the hood. This illustrated guide gives you the complete picture: from BIO remapping and mapping tables to real-world stacking patterns like LVM-on-LUKS and Android Verified Boot. 8 chapters, all visual, zero fluff.

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.

You’ve mastered the architecture—now it’s time to own the performance.Every GPU developer hits the same wall: the profiler says you’re close to peak, but you know there’s still headroom. What’s missing isn’t another compiler flag—it’s visibility into the hardware’s final truth.
