Key Features Complemented by a unique, professional-quality embedded tool-chain on the authors' Combines technical depth with real-world experience Comprehensively explains the differences between general purpose computing systems and embedded systems at the hardware, software, tools and operating system levels. Uses concrete examples to explain and motivate the trade-offs. Description The fact that there are more embedded computers than general-purpose computers and that we are impacted by hundreds of them every day is no longer news. What is news is that their increasing performance requirements, complexity and capabilities demand a new approach to their design. Fisher, Faraboschi, and Young describe a new age of embedded computing design, in which the processor is central, making the approach radically distinct from contemporary practices of embedded systems design. They demonstrate why it is essential to take a computing-centric and system-design approach to the traditional elements of nonprogrammable components, peripherals, interconnects and buses. These elements must be unified in a system design with high-performance processor architectures, microarchitectures and compilers, and with the compilation tools, debuggers and simulators needed for application development.
