Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Small Devices. Complex Communication. Built the Right Way.Modern embedded systems are small, inexpensive, and increasingly powerful. Reliable communication systems built on them are not. Most embedded projects fail-not because the hardware is incapable, but because communication constraints, timing realities, power limits, and system-level trade-offs are misunderstood or ignored.In this book, you will learn how to design, build, and scale embedded communication systems that work reliably beyond prototypes, demos, and laboratory tests. In a field crowded with fragmented tutorials, protocol checklists, and unrealistic "plug-and-play" promises, this book focuses on what actually matters: understanding embedded communication as an engineering discipline and applying it correctly in real systems. Inside this book, you will learn how to: Understand what embedded communication interfaces are designed to do-and where they break downChoose the right protocol for the job instead of forcing a familiar oneDesign reliable UART, SPI, and I2C systems that survive noise, timing errors, and scalingBuild robust CAN and USB-based systems for industrial and automotive environmentsEvaluate wired versus wireless trade-offs realisticallyDesign Wi-Fi and Bluetooth systems that manage latency, reconnections, and power correctlyUse IoT protocols such as MQTT, HTTP, and CoAP without creating fragile or chatty devicesIntegrate sensors, actuators, and cameras using reusable driver abstractionsHandle timing-critical interfaces safely in MicroPythonStream, buffer, and transport camera data without exhausting memory or bandwidthBuild event-driven embedded vision systems that scale beyond a single deviceSecure embedded communication using encryption, authentication, secure boot, and OTA updatesDebug communication failures using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and protocol sniffersDesign systems for observability, maintainability, and long-term deploymentUnderstand when to move beyond MicroPython or entry-level hardware to more capable platformsWith clear explanations, architecture diagrams, flowcharts, performance graphs, and detailed case studies, this book connects hardware, firmware, networking, and cloud interaction into a coherent engineering workflow. Rather than presenting isolated code fragments or protocol summaries, it emphasizes design reasoning, trade-offs, and patterns that remain valid across projects, platforms, and generations of hardware.Unlike many embedded or IoT books that focus narrowly on syntax, wiring diagrams, or optimistic demos, this book places reliability, diagnostics, security, and system architecture at the center of every chapter. You will learn not just how communication protocols work, but how to make them work together-predictably, securely, and at scale. Who this book is for: Embedded systems engineers and developersIoT architects and platform designersEngineers using MicroPython in real hardware projectsProfessionals transitioning from prototypes to productionAdvanced students seeking practical, industry-relevant skillsEmbedded systems do not fail because protocols are complicated.They fail because communication is treated as an afterthought.This book shows you how to move from fragile links to dependable systems, from single-device experiments to scalable architectures, and from protocol confusion to engineering clarity.If you want to design embedded communication systems that remain stable, secure, and maintainable in the real world, this book provides the guidance to do it right-from first signal on the wire to long-term deployment in the fi Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Stop Renting Intelligence. Start Optimizing Your Own.Do you want to run 70B parameter models on a single consumer GPU? Are you tired of high API costs, network latency, and the privacy risks of cloud-based AI?The "Local LLM Revolution" is here, but running Large Language Models (LLMs) privately is only half the battle. To make them truly useful, you must master Inference Optimization.In Local LLM Inference Optimization, you will move beyond basic "out-of-the-box" setups and dive into the high-performance engineering required to squeeze every drop of power from your hardware. Whether you are using NVIDIA CUDA, Apple Silicon (MLX), or AMD ROCm, this comprehensive guide provides the technical blueprint for the sovereign engineer. What You Will Master: The Quantization Deep-Dive: Learn to navigate the "Quantization Tax" using GGUF, EXL2, AWQ, and GPTQ. Move from FP32 to 4-bit and even 1.58-bit (BitNet) without losing the model's "mind."Advanced Memory Management: Defeat "Out of Memory" (OOM) errors by mastering KV Cache Management, PagedAttention, and FlashAttention 2 & 3.The Speed Multipliers: Double your Tokens Per Second (TPS) using Speculative Decoding, Continuous Batching, and Lookahead Heuristics.Hardware Architecture: Architect high-performance local servers using Multi-GPU Pipeline Parallelism and CPU/GPU offloading strategies.Context Window Expansion: Use RoPE Scaling, YaRN, and LongRoPE to push 8k models to 128k+ context on consumer hardware.The Full Local Stack: Step-by-step guides for Llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM, and TGI (Text Generation Inference).Security & Privacy: Deploy Air-Gapped AI environments and secure your infrastructure using Safetensors and local sandboxing.Why This Book?This book focuses on Deployment and Efficiency. It is written for the Lead Engineer, the Privacy-Conscious CTO, and the Prosumer Hobbyist who demands low Time to First Token (TTFT) and maximum Perf/Watt.Stop paying for tokens. Own your weights. Optimize your future. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Stop Renting Intelligence. Start Owning It. The Cloud is hitting a wall. Latency is killing your user experience. Privacy is becoming a legal minefield. And API costs are bleeding your startup dry.Now, the "God Models" have moved from massive data centers into the palm of your hand.In Small Language Models for Mobile Devices, visionary developer and engineer Thomas O. Greene reveals the blueprint for the most significant shift in computing since the smartphone itself: The Silicon Sovereignty.We are moving away from "Intelligence-as-a-Service" and toward "Intelligence-as-a-Utility." This book is your technical manifesto and hands-on guide to building, optimizing, and deploying high-performance AI that runs 100% offline, with sub-50ms latency, on standard Android and iOS hardware. What's Inside the Engine Room?The Architecture of Efficiency: Deep-dives into Phi-4, Gemma, and Llama-3-Mobile. Learn why "small" doesn't mean "weak" when you master Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) and Rotary Embeddings.The Magic of Quantization: Step-by-step techniques to squeeze 7B parameter models into 4GB of RAM using INT4, NF4, and the 1.58-bit Binary Frontier.Next-Gen Frameworks: Master ExecuTorch (PyTorch Edge), Apple MLX, and Android AICore to talk directly to the NPU silicon.Beyond Text: Deploy Multi-Modal SLMs that "see" through the camera and "hear" through the mic with native audio-to-audio processing.The Agentic Revolution: Build Large Action Models (LAMs) that navigate mobile UIs, booking rides and sending messages without a single cloud request.The Future is Liquid: An exclusive look at Liquid Neural Networks (LNNs)-the breakthrough for infinite context and constant memory footprints.Why This Book is Essential: Whether you are a Mobile Developer tired of "Cloud Fatigue," a Machine Learning Engineer fighting the "Memory Wall," or a Tech Leader demanding "Privacy-First" AI, this book provides the code, the math, and the strategy to win. The era of the "Frozen Snapshot" LLM is over. The era of the Fluid, Private, and Autonomous Mobile Agent has begun.Stop sending your users' data to a third-party server. Take the red pill of Data Sovereignty and build the private, powerful, and portable future today. This item is printed on demand.
