24 Good Design on Programming Embedded Devices Don't optimize your code till you know you really need to.. Don t think you are smarter than the compiler.. 28 When you program "without wasting any resources", do you consider your time a resource? Write your code so it's reliable, readable and maintainable first.. Use a KISS* Methodology and avoid code duplications at all costs.. * U.S. Navy 1960 Keep it simple & stupid -> Keep it small & simple Define simple clear orthogonal API s and keep under the carpet the garbage Don t verbosely comment your code If you comment every single line of code probably you re code is not that clear and not that good designed.. Use C Language in a C++ way (OO Programming).. be ready to use (few) global variables but encapsulate them wherever possible Abstract datatypes and use preprocessor macros to improve code readability

25 Things to consider on Programming Embedded Devices (On errors) Embedded systems usually will stop to work in unexpected ways, not just make it go slow.. Stack usually stack size is small. Stack problems cause some of the most insidious defects Heap usually smaller heap sizes : avoid unwarranted memory allocation. Fragmentation quickly becomes an issue. When malloc or new [] returns NULL, do you check for it and what do you do? Most MCU embedded systems do not use dynamic memory for these reasons. 29 Hardware interrupts - handle these in a safe and timely manner. Use only safe re-entrant code on your interrupt routines (no STD C lib, printf.. etc.). Assembly Language - almost always source of premature optimization. As an exercise, write a small method in hand crafted assembly (from scratch). Do the same in C. Measure the performance. I bet the C will be faster.. And I know it will be more readable, maintainable and extendable. But In case be prepared to inspect assembly code generated by the compiler if really needed
