Patterns in the Machine: A Software Engineering Guide to Embedded Development: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Patterns in the Machine: A Software Engineering Guide to Embedded Development" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Discover how to apply software engineering patterns to develop more robust firmware faster than traditional embedded development approaches. In the authors experience, traditional embedded software projects tend towards monolithic applications that are optimized for their target hardware platforms. This leads to software that is fragile in terms of extensibility and difficult to test without fully integrated software and hardware. Patterns in the Machine focuses on creating loosely coupled implementations that embrace both change and testability.

This book illustrates how implementing continuous integration, automated unit testing, platform-independent code, and other best practices that are not typically implemented in the embedded systems world is not just feasible but also practical for todays embedded projects.

After reading this book, you will have a better idea of how to structure your embedded software projects. You will recognize that while writing unit tests, creating simulators, and implementing continuous integration requires time and effort up front, you will be amply rewarded at the end of the project in terms of quality, adaptability, and maintainability of your code.

What You Will Learn

  • Incorporate automated unit testing into an embedded project
  • Design and build functional simulators for an embedded project
  • Write production-quality software when hardware is not available
  • Use the Data Model architectural pattern to create a highly decoupled design and implementation
  • Understand the importance of defining the software architecture before implementation starts and how to do it
  • Discover why documentation is essential for an embedded project
  • Use finite state machines in embedded projects

Who This Book Is For

Mid-level or higher embedded systems (firmware) developers, technical leads, software architects, and development managers.

Preface

The mastermind behind this book is John. John is the one who has been working and developing code in the embedded systems space for 30 years, and this is his approach to developing software. Patterns in the Machine, or PIM, is his development process. If you worked with John, youd see that his processes and his production code follow exactly what is prescribed in this book. While not all of his colleagues have been converted to his PIM approach, they cant argue with his success. John not only develops a prodigious amount of code, but he also keeps an amazing number of modules and unit tests and simulator bits current on his projects. And he does so by practicing what he preaches.

Consequently, in this book, when you see a phrase like In my experience or I worked on a project once , it is usually John speaking. Occasionally, its me editorializing or providing my own anecdote, but mostly its John. We wrestled for a while about how to best alert readers to who was who, and, in the end, we decided wed go with first-person narration. We never really were comfortable using we. To us it sounded a little pretentious, pontificatory, and too much like the royal we. So, when you read this book, know that I is John mostly.

John and I have been involved with software development for a very long time. I wrote my first computer program in the basement of the Kiewit computer center at Dartmouth College when I was 10 years old. John was 7. Over the years, John and I have programmed in machine language, assembler, C, C++, Java, C#, Python, Perl, and so on. Weve been involved in projects that range from firmware for very small hardware platforms to enterprise software for insanely large storage platforms. And while the specifics of our experience vary, we discovered over the course of writing this book that our ideas and conclusions about what constitutes smart development, what demonstrates elegance in design, and what is the right way to do things are surprisingly similar. When it comes to software development and programming languages, John and I are native speakers. And we speak with one voice.
