Embedded Software Development Basics

This section systematically explains the basic knowledge required for embedded software development, from hardware to software.

This section covers a wide range of topics, from the unique challenges of embedded development—such as strict resource constraints, real-time requirements, and long-term continuous operation—to understanding circuit-board components such as microcontrollers, memory, and sensors, as well as the design principles for achieving high quality and reliability.

Furthermore, it provides a detailed introduction to the core technologies underpinning embedded systems, including the principles of computer operation, such as CPU instruction cycles and pipelining. It provides comprehensive knowledge for understanding the unique constraints and requirements of embedded systems, which differ from those of PCs and smartphones, and for developing safe, reliable embedded systems.
