Covers the significant embedded computingtechnologies--highlighting their applications in wirelesscommunication and computing power
An embedded system is a computer system designed for specificcontrol functions within a larger system--often with real-timecomputing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete deviceoften including hardware and mechanical parts. Presented in threeparts, Embedded Systems: Hardware, Design, andImplementation provides readers with an immersive introductionto this rapidly growing segment of the computer industry.
Acknowledging the fact that embedded systems control many oftoday's most common devices such as smart phones, PC tablets, aswell as hardware embedded in cars, TVs, and even refrigerators andheating systems, the book starts with a basic introduction toembedded computing systems. It hones in on system-on-a-chip (SoC),multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC), and network-on-chip (NoC).It then covers on-chip integration of software and custom hardwareaccelerators, as well as fabric flexibility, custom architectures,and the multiple I/O standards that facilitate PCB integration.
Next, it focuses on the technologies associated with embeddedcomputing systems, going over the basics of field-programmable gatearray (FPGA), digital signal processing (DSP) andapplication-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology,architectural support for on-chip integration of customaccelerators with processors, and O/S support for thesesystems.
Finally, it offers full details on architecture, testability,and computer-aided design (CAD) support for embedded systems, softprocessors, heterogeneous resources, and on-chip storage beforeconcluding with coverage of software support--in particular,O/S Linux.
Embedded Systems: Hardware, Design, and Implementation isan ideal book for design engineers looking to optimize and reducethe size and cost of embedded system products and increase theirreliability and performance.
