An embedded system functions within a larger mechanical or electrical system for performing specific computational functions. Designing these systems is a complex process due to their size restrictions. Advanced computational modelling, model design tools and chip technology are involved in the production of embedded systems. This book deals with all the practical aspects involved in designing embedded systems. It emphasizes on architecture, compilers and models of various embedded system designs. It helps in understanding of embedded hardware support, programming abstractions and real time systems. Researchers and developers will find this text beneficial.
