Advanced HW/SW Embedded System for Designers 2015: IP Design, Basic Real-Time System, HW Architectures and FPGA System On Chip

The motivation for reading this book is the need of knowledge in microcontroller architectures and HW/SW designs for FPGA (Field Programmable Application Gate Arrays) devices in embedded products. The book prepare the designer for real embedded system projects, by guiding step by step through an entire design of an embedded system together with adequate theory. The theory is integrated together with the practical training, to get a short distance between theory and practice.
The book describes background and overview of technologies, toolbox and reusable components for embedded systems. Those three key objects are then used in an engineering way to guide the designer through practical CASE studies. The CASEs purpose is to “learn by doing real designs”.
Technology is important in many applications, in terms of development cost, performance and power consumption.
Toolbox, Tools are important for optimizing the development process; archiving short development time, cost optimal solutions, minimizing the risks of bugs and good debug tools.
Reusable components have the purpose to decrease the risks and shorten development time.
