Title: Hunter S. Thompson has written an Embedded Systems Book!
Review: This is a really poorly written and poorly organized collection of ramblings from an embedded systems "expert." Each topic is covered at a grossly superficial level and most sections consist of short random thoughts. Here's a typical paragraph (from the 2 pages on real time operating systems)."Improvements to these tools come almost daily. Keep on top of the field to avoid the fate of the dinosaurs."Speaking of dinosaurs, the author's favorite tool for debugging and performance analysis seems to be the oscilloscope.I get the feeling that the author "wrote" this book by talking into a tape recorder while in an LSD haze on the way to Las Vegas.BTW, the page count is 243 and not 352 claimed in the advertising for this book. Thankfully, the editors saw fit to trash at least a portion of this book.My only regret in writing this review is that the Amazon rating service doesn't offer the option of giving 0 stars.
