Embedded Hardware System Design

The term "embedded system" refers to the incorporation of microcontrollers and microprocessors in equipment, appliances, toys, and other devices that provide a certain degree of computer control. This introduction to the design of embedded systems provides for hardware and software engineers the methodology, base of knowledge, and common problems in the field of embedded design. Included are discussions of device architecture, memory, I/O, and development techniques. Hardware design topics and information regarding specific, commercially available devices are addressed. This book also explores processor interfacing, buses, user programmable logic devices, system timing, and design verification. Includes CD-ROM
