Newbie level 4
I am very interested in VHDL and VLSI but I have been looking at my job prospects as a recent grad in Canada and I am quite worried. There simply aren't many opportunities here for it. So I am thinking of concentrating more on general embedded programming and design. It retains a lot of the same things that got me interested in HDLs while the job prospects appear to be far, far, far greater. However, I don't have the same level of confidence in it.
Sorry for yet another annoying "teach me" thread but I was hoping someone might be kind enough to point me in the best direction for learning the absolute essentials of embedded programming/design and the special considerations that go into this particular discipline.
For example, if I could read only one book, should I pick up a book on RTOS? Embedded C? Embedded Linux? Just a general book on Embedded sytems?
I have been eyeing this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Embedded-Lin...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203463275&sr=8-1
Gets good reviews and since I could never get into using linux, it might kill two birds with one stone. But I am unsure if this is really the direction I should be taking as I want to learn in order of importance for starting my career.
Thank you very much. Your help is appreciated!
