Embedded systems

Famed author Jack Ganssle has selected the very best embedded systems design material from the Newnes portfolio and compiled into this volume. The result is a book covering the gamut of embedded designfrom hardware to software to integrated embedded systemswith a strong pragmatic emphasis. In addition to specific design techniques and practices, this book also discusses various approaches to solving embedded design problems and how to successfully apply theory to actual design tasks. The material has been selected for its timelessness as well as for its relevance to contemporary embedded design issues. This book will be an essential working reference for anyone involved in embedded system design! Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Motors - Stuart Ball Chapter 2. Testing Arnold S. Berger Chapter 3.

Embedded Systems : Design, Programming and Applications

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS discusses the architecture, its basic hardware and software elements, programming models and software engineering practices that are used for system development process. The embedded system resources are microprocessor, memory, ports, devices and power supply unit. The innovative technologies and tools for designing an embedded system are incorporated in this book alongwith the parallel and serial port devices, timing devices, devices for synchronous, isosynchronous and asynchronous communications in embedded system. It also covers the most important aspect of real time programming through the use of signals, mutex, message queues, mailboxes, pipes and virtual sockets and explains the Concepts of Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS).

Embedded systems : hardware, design, and implementation

"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))"--"Presents a comprehensive coverage with extensive cross-referencing features"--Covers the significant embedded computing technologies--highlighting their applications in wireless communication and computing powerAn embedded system is a computer system designed for specific control functions within a larger system--often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Presented in three parts, Embedded Systems: Hardware, Design, and Implementation provides readers with an immersive introduction to this rapidly growing segment of the computer industry.Acknowledging the fact that embedded systems control many of today's most common devices such as smart phones, PC tablets, as well as hardware embedded in cars, TVs, and even refrigerators and heating systems, the book starts with a basic introduction to embedded 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 hardware accelerators, 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 embedded computing systems, going over 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.Finally, it offers full details on architecture, testability, and computer-aided design (CAD) support for embedded systems, soft processors, heterogeneous resources, and on-chip storage before concluding with coverage of software support--in particular, O/S Linux.Embedded Systems: Hardware, Design, and Implementation is an ideal book for design engineers looking to optimize and reduce the size and cost of embedded system products and increase their reliability and performance.Presented in three parts, this book provides readers with an immersive introduction to this rapidly growing segment of the computer industry.
