Nowadays, embedded systems - computer systems that are embedded in various kinds of devices and play an important role of specific control functions, have permeated various scenes of industry. Therefore, we can hardly discuss our life or society from now onwards without referring to embedded systems. For wide-ranging embedded systems to continue their growth, a number of high-quality fundamental and applied researches are indispensable. This book contains 13 excellent chapters and addresses a wide spectrum of research topics of embedded systems, including parallel computing, communication architecture, application-specific systems, and embedded systems projects. Embedded systems can be made only after fusing miscellaneous technologies together. Various technologies condensed in this book as well as in the complementary book "Embedded Systems - Theory and Design Methodology", will be helpful to researchers and engineers around the world.

Almost each and every electronic gadget around us is an embedded system, for example: Smart phone, palmtop, digital watch, digital camera, printer, scanner, washer machine control panel, home security system, and many more. Embedded systems have revolutionized our society into a digital world due to the fact that they are microcontroller-based, compact in sizes, reliable in performance, and cheaper in cost. Book ContentsThis book will assist you to learn about embedded systems, its design and development process. Four serial phases: plan, design, integrated development (ID), design verification and validation (DV&V) are presented and discussed in this book.This book begins by introducing what the embedded system basics are. Chapter 1 present classification and aspect of embedded systems, describes embedded systems' hardware and software characteristics. Then it is continued by chapter 2 to depict a time-task span of the embedded system product development process.Chapter 3, 4, 5, and 6, each describes the four phases of the design and development process respectively, which are Plan (Chapter 3), Design (chapter 4), Integrated Development (Chapter 5), Design Verification and Validation (Chapter 6). Plan phase (Chapter 3) describes product requirement, cost analysis, development strategy, management plan, development methodology, design tools and equipment.Design phase (Chapter 4) go over each design process flows, and present descriptions on: hardware board design process, hardware PCB design process, signal integrity analysis and simulation, software design process, and FPGA design process.Integrated Development phase (Chapter 5) discuss on: mechanical and PCB preparations, parts acquisition, FPGA preparation, PCB assembly, hardware testing and debug, hardware/software integrated development, and virtual prototype.Design Verification and Validation phase (Chapter 6) present appearance inspection, functional testing, characteristics and measurements, performance testing, and ESD, EMC, safety testing.Appendixes in this book provide tables and descriptions on hardware and software design checklists, guidelines, and development tools for reference. Bold texts in the paragraphs shall represent a development process name, phase name, step name, or a term of the glossary, or an emphasis.Audience: This book is intentionally written for following audience: -Managers and team leaders who need to manage and guide embedded system design and development process effectively.-Engineers and technicians who want to speed up and optimize embedded system design and development process.-New graduates and students who want to study and learn embedded system design and development process.-Interested readers who want explore embedded system design and development process.

Covers the significant embedded computing technologies highlighting their applications in wireless communication and computing power An embedded system is a computer system designed for specific control functions within a larger system often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Presented in three parts, Embedded Systems: Hardware, Design, and Implementation provides readers with an immersive introduction to this rapidly growing segment of the computer industry. Acknowledging the fact that embedded systems control many of today's most common devices such as smart phones, PC tablets, as well as hardware embedded in cars, TVs, and even refrigerators and heating systems, the book starts with a basic introduction to embedded computing systems. It hones in on system-on-a-chip (SoC), multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC), and network-on-chip (NoC). It then covers on-chip integration of software and custom hardware accelerators, as well as fabric flexibility, custom architectures, and the multiple I/O standards that facilitate PCB integration. Next, it focuses on the technologies associated with embedded computing systems, going over the basics of field-programmable gate array (FPGA), digital signal processing (DSP) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology, architectural support for on-chip integration of custom accelerators with processors, and O/S support for these systems. Finally, it offers full details on architecture, testability, and computer-aided design (CAD) support for embedded systems, soft processors, heterogeneous resources, and on-chip storage before concluding with coverage of software support in particular, O/S Linux. Embedded Systems: Hardware, Design, and Implementation is an ideal book for design engineers looking to optimize and reduce the size and cost of embedded system products and increase their reliability and performance.
