About this title

Review

"This book is a good textbook for any introductory course in embedded systems design, and it can also serve in a more advanced capacity.[...] If you need to teach a course on embedded systems, or if you just want to learn on your own, I recommend taking a good look at this text."--Grant Martin, "Teaching someone to fish," IEEE Design and Test of Computers, vol. 26, no. 5, pp. 106-107, Sep./Oct. 2009

Synopsis

This book was the first to bring essential knowledge on embedded systems technology and techniques under a single cover. This second edition has been updated to the state-of-the-art by reworking and expanding performance analysis with more examples and exercises, and coverage of electronic systems now focuses on the latest applications. Researchers, students, and savvy professionals schooled in hardware or software design, will value Wayne Wolf's integrated engineering design approach. The second edition gives a more comprehensive view of multiprocessors including VLIW and super scalar architectures as well as more detail about power consumption.There is also more advanced treatment of all the components of the system as well as in-depth coverage of networks, reconfigurable systems, hardware-software co-design, security, and program analysis. It presents an updated discussion of current industry development software including Linux and Windows CE. The new edition's case studies cover SHARC DSP with the TI C5000 and C6000 series, and real-world applications such as DVD players and cell phones.

This book uses real processors (ARM processor and TI C55x DSP) to demonstrate both technology and techniques. It shows readers how to apply principles to actual design practice. It covers all necessary topics with emphasis on actual design practice. It presents realistic introduction to the state-of-the-art for both students and practitioners. It stresses necessary fundamentals which can be applied to evolving technologies. It helps readers gain facility to design large, complex embedded systems that actually work.
