Book: Practical UML Statecharts in C/C++, 2nd Ed

Event-Driven Programming for Embedded Systems

[画像:Book: Practical UML Statecharts in C/C++, 2nd Ed]

The second edition of the “Practical Statecharts” book by Quantum Leaps’ Miro Samek bridges the gap between high-level abstract concepts of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the actual programming aspects of modern finite state machines (UML statecharts). The book describes a lightweight, open source, event-driven real-time embedded framework (RTEF) called QPTM that enables a straightforward implementation of UML statecharts and concurrent event-driven applications in C or C++.

QP™ Real-Time Embedded Frameworks (Version 4)

QPTM/C and QPTM/C++ Real-Time Embedded Frameworks (RTEFs) described in the book. The downloads below contain the QP framework source code and all examples described in the book.

QM™ Modeling-Based Design Tool

Since the publication of the book, a new modeling tool called QMTM (QP Modeler) has been developed to support graphical modeling based on the QP frameworks. QM provides intuitive diagramming environment for finite state machines (UML statecharts) and automatically generates production-quality C or C++ code.

QTools™ Collection

The QTools™ collection contains various open source tools for working with the QP frameworks, such as: (1) QSPY host application, (2) QUTest unit testing harness, (3) QView monitoring and visualization, (4) QWin prototyping, (5) QCLEAN for cleanup of source code files. The QTools collection for Windows provides also the free open-source C/C++ GNU compiler for Windows (MinGW) as well as the GNU make for Windows and related file utilities (rm, touch, etc.)

EFM32-SLSTK3401A board

To demonstrate modern embedded systems programming with QP, the accompanying code includes examples for the inexpensive ARM Corterx-M4F-based EFM32-SLSTK3401A evaluation kit (also known as Pearl Gecko Starter Kit) form Silicon Labs.

DOS Replaced with Windows

All examples for the legacy 16-bit DOS in the book are replaced in the latest QP frameworks with examples for Windows. This includes the “Fly ‘n’ Shoot” game example (Chapters 1 and 12), which runs as a Windows GUI application. The Windows examples are located in the directory /examples/workstation/, where denotes the directory into which you have installed QP/C or QP/C++.

Visio Stencil

All diagrams in the book have been prepared in Microsoft Visio-2003. The Visio stencil used to make the diagrams is available for a free download below. The Software-UML.vss stencil should work with the newer versions of Visio.
