# Some Embedded System Software Design Resources

**[EmbeddedRelated](https://daily.dev/sources/embeddedrelated)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A curated reading list for embedded systems software design, responding to a question from an embedded engineer. Covers embedded-specific books by Elecia White and Jacob Beningo on design patterns, APIs, HALs, and drivers; Robert Martin's Clean Architecture for general system design; and James W. Grenning's Test Driven Development for Embedded C. Emphasizes BDD-style TDD and off-target testing as a design methodology that reduces debugging by separating platform-specific from platform-independent code.
