This book introduces a modern approach toembedded system design, presenting software design andhardware design in a unified manner. It covers trendsand challenges, introduces the design and use ofsingle-purpose processors (”hardware”) andgeneral-purpose processors (”software”), describesmemories and buses, illustrates hardware/softwaretradeoffs using a digital camera example, and discussesadvanced computation models, controls systems, chiptechnologies, and 進階操作手冊以最新的複合建構(Hybrid Modelifound in EE, CS and other engineering departments.Table of Contents: Preface.
