The techniques presented in this book enable robust multitasking firmware design through the use of state machine inserted. Practical selection criteria for the task and state machine design are also discussed. Designing multitasking firmware is difficult, complex and full of potential for error, and no one, "standard" way to do it. This book will present a complete design approach and well organized with examples and sample source code that designers can follow. * Covers every aspect of design from system level to component level, including the system time, communicate with the integration, hardware and testing. * Accompanying CD-ROM contains the source code for text examples and other useful design tool.
