RISC-V Microprocessor System-On-Chip Design is written to be accessible to an advanced undergraduate audience with limited background. It explains concepts from operating systems, VLSI, and memory systems as necessary, and High school mathematics is sufficient preparation for most of the book, although the floating point and division chapters will be primarily of interest to those with a curiosity about computer arithmetic. Like Harris and Harris’s Digital Design and Computer Architecture textbooks, this book will appeal to students with easy-to-read and complete explanations, sidebars, and occasional humor and cartoons.It comes with an open-source implementation and will include end-of-chapter problems to extend the RISC-V processor in various ways. Ancillary materials include a GitHub repository with complete open-source SystemVerilog code, validation code in C and assembly language, and code for benchmarking and booting Linux.

Modern Assembly Language Programming with the ARM Processor, Second Edition is a tutorial-based book on assembly language programming using the ARM processor. It presents the concepts of assembly language programming in different ways, slowly building from simple examples towards complex programming on bare-metal embedded systems. The ARM processor was chosen as it has fewer instructions and irregular addressing rules to learn than most other architectures, allowing more time to spend on teaching assembly language programming concepts and good programming practice.Careful consideration is given to topics that students struggle to grasp, such as registers vs. memory and the relationship between pointers and addresses, recursion, and non-integral binary mathematics. A whole chapter is dedicated to structured programming principles. Concepts are illustrated and reinforced with many tested and debugged assembly and C source listings. The book also covers advanced topics such as fixed- and floating-point mathematics, optimization, and the ARM VFP and NEONTM extensions.

Embedded Systems: ARM Programming and Optimization, Second Edition combines an exploration of the ARM architecture with an examination of the facilities offered by the Linux operating system to explain how various features of program design can influence processor performance. The book demonstrates methods by which a programmer can optimize program code in a way that does not impact its behavior but instead improves its performance. Several applications, including image transformations, fractal generation, image convolution, computer vision tasks, and now machine learning are used to describe and demonstrate these methods. From this, the reader will gain insight into computer architecture and application design, as well as practical knowledge in embedded software design for modern embedded systems. The second edition has been expanded to include more topics of interest to upper level undergraduate courses in embedded systems.

Embedded Systems Design: Methodologies and Issues presents methodologies for designing these systems and discusses major issues, both present and future, that designers must consider in bringing products with embedded processing to market. The book starts from the first step after product proposal (behavioral modeling) and goes through the steps for modeling internal operations. Specific areas of focus include methods for designing safe, reliable, and robust embedded systems. Sections cover selection of processors and related hardware as well as issues involved in designing related software. Finally, the book present issues that will occur in systems designed for the Internet of Things. This book is for junior/senior/MS students in computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering who intend to take jobs in industry designing and implementing embedded systems and Internet of Things applications.
