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.

Learn how to analyze x64 and ARM64 Linux process and kernel crashes and hangs, navigate through core memory dump space and diagnose corruption, memory leaks, CPU spikes, blocked threads, deadlocks, wait chains, and more than 50 memory analysis patterns. The training consists of more than 70 step-by-step exercises using GDB and WinDbg debuggers.

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.

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.

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.

The definitive guide to programming on the ESP32.

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
