Develop today's embedded computing systems with examples featuring the Intel Atom Processor
Unlike embedded microcontrollers that perform only limited functions for industrial applications, modern embedded systems are connected and media-rich, with networking capabilities and graphic user interfaces. 'Modern Embedded Computing' will teach you the platform architecture of today's embedded computing systems that drive pervasive, connected devices such as media phones, networking equipment, in vehicle infotainment units and home automation systems.
Examples feature the Intel Atom processor, widely used in devices such as Internet-enabled TVs, tablets, net books, and many embedded applicaitons. Beginning with a discussion of embedded platform architecture and Intel Atom-specific architecture, modular chapters cover system boot-up, operating systems, power optimization, graphics and multi-media, connectivity, and platform tuning. Both an embedded computing textbook and a resource for professional system designers who need to update their skills, the book propvides a comprehensive view of how to develop a framework for embedded systems-on-chips.
- Learn embedded systems design with the Intel Atom Processor, based on the dominant PC chip architecture. Examples use Atom and offer comparisons to other platforms
- Design embedded processors for systems that support gaming, in-vehicle infotainment, medical records retrieval, point-of-sale purchasing, networking, digital storage, and many more retail, consumer and industrial applications
- Explore companion lab materials online that offer hands-on embedded design experience
