This book was written out of necessity because during his studies, the author was unable to find a book that covers the complete process of designing embedded systems. The book provides you several tools that will make your job as a designer of embedded systems easier. The used method divides the process of designing into four stages; Specify, Design, Create and Validate. These stages cover all necessary steps in the design process. Each Stage is documented in a way that enables you to apply it to your own design process. Designers who are at the beginning of their career will have a great start when using this book. More advanced users will also benefit the design method and the design tools. The author included some cases to show the readers how the design method and the tools from the toolbox can be used in the process of designing embedded systems. Feel free to use the information in this book as a starting point and a guide for your designs. This is the Black and white edition.
