| Summary |
Incorporate embedded computing technology in projects and devices of all sizes. This comprehensive engineering textbook lays out foundational computer architecture principles and teaches, step by step, how to apply those concepts in cutting-edge embedded applications. The book includes everything you need to know about embedded computing from fundamentals and processor internals to networking and connectivity.Computer Systems: An Embedded Approach begins by thoroughly explaining constituent hardware components, including processors, storage devices, and accelerators. From there, the book shows how operating systems work and how they provide a layer of services between hardware and software. You will get coverage of foundational networking, pervasive computing concepts, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The book concludes with a look to the future of embedded computing systems. This single resource takes readers right up to being ready to learn programming. Covers code aspects from the IEEE, POSIX, and OSI models Written by a recognized academic and experienced author |
