Embedded Software for the IoT

With a mixture of theory, examples, and well-integrated figures, Embedded Software for the IoT helps the reader understand the details in the technologies behind the devices used in the Internet of Things. It provides an overview of IoT, parameters of designing an embedded system, and good practice concerning code, version control and defect-tracking needed to build and maintain a connected embedded system.

After presenting a discussion on the history of the internet and the word wide web the book introduces modern CPUs and operating systems. The author then delves into an in-depth view of core IoT domains including:

• Wired and wireless networking
• Digital filters
• Security in embedded and networked systems
• Statistical Process Control for Industry 4.0

This book will benefit software developers moving into the embedded realm as well as developers already working with embedded systems.

Klaus Elk graduated as Master of Science (Electronics) in 1984, with a thesis on "Time-Delay Spectrometry"—a Digital Signal Project. Two years later he graduated with a Bachelor of Economics (Marketing). He has since then worked mainly with telecommunications, medical electronics and sound and vibration in private industry. In parallel with this work, he taught courses at the Danish Technical University including courses in object oriented programming and the internet protocol stack. Recently he earned a "Mini MBA," and in the following year took a "Board-Member Masterclass." Today Elk works at Brüel & Kjær Sound & Vibration as R&D Manager of Instrumentation.
