An Embedded C++ Case Study
On-demand Web Seminar
ABSTRACT
A detailed case study is used to illustrate the appropriate use of C++ in embedded applications.
Overview
In this session, the value of object oriented techniques in handling complex hardware/software interfaces is considered and the concept of encapsulation of expertise introduced. A detailed case study is used to illustrate the ideas.
C++ is increasingly popular for embedded software development. Some developers are wary or have had bad experiences with C++. This is commonly because the language has not been utilized in a way that is appropriate to embedded applications.
What You Will Learn
- How to use C++ to "tame" complex hardware and software interfaces
- The concept of encapsulation of expertise
