This unique reference is a what, why, and how guide to embedded systems programming. Embedded systems are ROM-based microcomputer systems that are "embedded" within other systems. Here is the first professional guide to programming embedded systems in C.

The Inmates Are Running the Asylum : Why High Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How To Restore The Sanity
Alan Cooper, Paul Saffo
In this book about the darker side of technology's impact on our lives, Alan Cooper begins by explaining that unlike other devices throughout history, computers have a "meta function:" an unwanted, unforeseen option that users may accidentally invoke with what they thought was a normal keystroke. Cooper details many of these meta functions to explain his central thesis: programmers need to seriously reevaluate the many user-hostile concepts deeply embedded within the software development process.

Front Panel; Designing Software for Embedded User Interfaces
Niall Murphy
This book shows you how to design intuitive interfaces for embedded systems and how to address special needs, such as the safety hazards inherent in controls, handling heavy machinery, and medical or transport systems. Front Panel was written for electronics or firmware engineers who have evolved into software engineers and for desktop programmers who find themselves writing more and more software for devices (not computers) that are dedicated to a single job.
