Embedded Systems: Hardware Design and Implementation (Hardcover)

The book begins with an introduction of embedded computing systems honing in on system on a chip (SoCs) multi-processor System-on-Chip (MPSoCs) and Network operation centers (NoCs). It covers on-chip integration of software and custom hardware accelerators as well as fabric flexibility custom architectures and the multiple I/O standards that facilitate PCB integration. The second portion of the book focuses on the technologies associated with embedded computing systems. It also covers the basics of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) digital signal processing (DSP) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology architectural support for on-chip integration of custom accelerators with processors and O/S support for these systems. The third area focuses on architecture testability and computer-aided design (CAD) support for embedded systems soft processors heterogeneous resources on-chip storage. The final section covers software support in particular O/S (linux research and technology organization (RTO)) --
