Hardware/Firmware Interface Design: Best Practices for Improving Embedded Systems Development

Rate this book
Why care about hardware/firmware interaction? These interfaces are critical, a solid hardware design married with adaptive firmware can access all the capabilities of an application and overcome limitations caused by poor communication. For the first time, a book has come along that will help hardware engineers and firmware engineers work together to mitigate or eliminate problems that occur when hardware and firmware are not optimally compatible. Solving these issues will save time and money, getting products to market sooner to create more revenue.The principles and best practices presented in this book will prove to be a valuable resource for both hardware and firmware engineers. Topics include register layout, interrupts, timing and performance, aborts, and errors. Real world cases studies will help to solidify the principles and best practices with an aim towards cleaner designs, shorter schedules, and better implementation!

I really enjoyed reading this book, and it's been one of the best technical books I've read lately. The book is filled with best practices and use cases from the field and it is situated at a level (hw/sw interfacing) where not much material is available. This book helped me put several puzzle-pieces together and made me understand better why certain things are/were implemented the way they are.
