Textbook
For most of the semester, we'll not be using any textbook. However, we will be using small parts of:
E. A. Lee and S. A. Seshia, Introduction to Embedded Systems - A Cyber-Physical Systems Approach, LeeSeshia.org, 2015.
A free on-line version of the book can be found at http://leeseshia.org/. The text is, on the whole, at a higher-level than we'll generally work at. But parts are useful to us and the rest is worth scanning just to get an idea about what "embedded systems" means to others.
