Computers as Components: Principles of Embedded Computing System Design

by Marilyn Wolf

"Computers as Principles of Embedded Computing System Design, 3e," presents essential knowledge on embedded systems technology and techniques. Updated for today's embedded systems design methods, this edition features new examples including digital signal processing, multimedia, and cyber-physical systems. Author Marilyn Wolf covers the latest processors from Texas Instruments, ARM, and Microchip Technology plus software, operating systems, networks, consumer devices, and more.Like the previous editions, this Uses real processors to demonstrate both technology and techniquesShows readers how to apply principles to actual design practiceStresses necessary fundamentals that can be applied to evolving technologies and helps readers gain facility to design large, complex embedded systemsUpdates in this edition Description of cyber-physical physical systems with integrated computation to give new capabilitiesExploration of the PIC and TI OMAP processorsHigh-level representations of systems using signal flow graphsEnhanced material on interprocess communication and buffering in operating systemsDesign examples include an audio player, digital camera, cell phone, and moreUpdates in this edition Description of cyber-physical physical systems with integrated computation to give new capabilitiesExploration of the PIC and TI OMAP multiprocessorsHigh-level representations of systems using signal flow graphsEnhanced material on interprocess communication and buffering in operating systemsDesign examples include an audio player, digital camera, cell phone, and more

[Alex Papadopoulos · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is a great book but some very important section of the book need clarification. Reading the book without an internet connection is very hard to fully understand some topics. Also there are many typos. But the topics in the book are great and it is a great intro into embedded systems and not only.

TECHNOLOGY IS THE 🔑 TODAY COMPUTERS ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.

[Michael Frandsen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good and broad overview of Embedded Systems and required reading for a continued education course at UCI

[Maxim Dyumin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book! But I would prefer to see some topics (for example, UML, compiler's strategies for code optimization, distributed multiprocessors systems and so on) are on more in-depth level. So my rating is 4 stars.

There are mistakes in a book, including logical errors in source code listings.
