Embedded Systems with Modern C++: Bare-Metal ARM Cortex Programming, Real-Time Techniques, and High-Performance Embedded Systems
Embedded Systems with Modern C++: Bare-Metal ARM Cortex Programming, Real-Time Techniques, and High-Performance Embedded Systems
Modern embedded systems require both low-level hardware mastery and high-level programming discipline. This book bridges those worlds, teaching you how to build efficient, reliable, and maintainable bare-metal applications on ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers using modern C++.
You will learn how to move beyond legacy C approaches and leverage C++17/20 features in constrained environments without sacrificing performance. Through detailed explanations, diagrams, and real-world case studies, the book covers everything from startup code and linker scripts to interrupt handling, real-time scheduling, and low-power optimization.
What you will learn:
Fundamentals of embedded systems and the ARM Cortex-M architecture
How to set up toolchains, IDEs, debuggers, and build systems
Writing startup code, linker scripts, and understanding the boot process
Practical techniques for memory-mapped I/O and register access in C++
Using RAII, templates, and inline functions for safer low-level programming
Designing deterministic real-time systems with timers, ISRs, and schedulers
Optimizing for performance and power efficiency in IoT and industrial applications
Building real-world projects: blinking LEDs, UART communication, PWM control, sensor data acquisition, and IoT edge devices
This book is written for embedded engineers, system programmers, IoT developers, and robotics engineers who want to combine the power of modern C++ with the precision of bare-metal ARM development. Whether you are transitioning from C or refining your C++ embedded skills, this guide provides the tools and insights to design high-performance embedded systems that are both robust and maintainable.
