Lee and Seshia wrote:Most texts on embedded systems focus on the collection of technologies needed to get computers to interact with physical systems (Barr and Massa, 2006; Berger, 2002; Burns and Wellings, 2001; Kamal, 2008; Noergaard, 2005; Parab et al., 2007; Simon, 2006; Valvano, 2007; Wolf, 2000). Others focus on adaptations of computer-science techniques (like programming languages, operating systems, networking, etc.) to deal with technical problems in embedded systems (Buttazzo, 2005a; Edwards, 2000; Pottie and Kaiser, 2005). While these implementation technologies are (today) necessary for system designers to get embedded systems working, they do not form the intellectual core of the discipline. The intellectual core is instead in models and abstractions that conjoin computation and physical dynamics.
A few textbooks offer efforts in this direction. Jantsch (2003) focuses on concurrent models of computation, Marwedel (2011) focuses on models of software and hardware behav- ior, and Sriram and Bhattacharyya (2009) focus on dataflow models of signal processing behavior and their mapping onto programmable DSPs. These are excellent starting points. Models of concurrency (such as dataflow) and abstract models of software (such as Statecharts) provide a better starting point than imperative programming languages (like C), interrupts and threads, and architectural annoyances that a designer must work around (like caches). These texts, however, are not suitable for an introductory course. They are either too specialized or too advanced or both. This book is our attempt to provide an introductory text that follows the spirit of focusing on models and their relationship to realizations of systems.
