More About This Title Designing Embedded Systems and the Internet ofThings (IoT) with the Arm® Mbed

English

A comprehensive and accessible introduction to the development of embedded systems and Internet of Things devices using ARM mbed

Designing Embedded Systems and the Internet of Things (IoT) with the ARM mbed offers an accessible guide to the development of ARM mbed and includes a range of topics on the subject from the basic to the advanced. ARM mbed is a platform and operating system based on 32-bit ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers. This important resource puts the focus on ARM mbed NXP LPC1768 and FRDM-K64F evaluation boards. NXP LPC1768 has powerful features such as a fast microcontroller, various digital and analog I/Os, various serial communication interfaces and a very easy to use Web based compiler. It is one of the most popular kits that are used to study and create projects. FRDM-K64F is relatively new and largely compatible with NXP LPC1768 but with even more powerful features.

This approachable text is an ideal guide that is divided into four sections; Getting Started with the ARM mbed, Covering the Basics, Advanced Topics and Case Studies. This getting started guide:

  • Offers a clear introduction to the topic
  • Contains a wealth of original and illustrative case studies
  • Includes a practical guide to the development of projects with the ARM mbed platform
  • Presents timely coverage of how to develop IoT applications

Designing Embedded Systems and the Internet of Things (IoT) with the ARM mbed offers students and R&D engineers a resource for understanding the ARM mbed NXP LPC1768 evaluation board.
