Discover how to apply software engineering patterns to develop more robustfirmware faster than traditional embedded development approaches.In the authors' experience, traditionalembedded software projects tend towards monolithic applications that are optimized for their targethardware 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 coupledimplementations 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 embeddedsystems world is not just feasible but also practical for today's embedded projects.
