Embedded Systems Design in Verilog Using Programmable Gate Arrays

Embedded Systems Design in Verilog using Programmable Gate Arrays teaches the analysis and design of modern embedded systems for digital signal processing, digital control, and digital data communication using the field programmable gate array (FPGA). The FPGA has traditionally provided support for embedded system design by implementing a controller and data path algorithmic state machine. Although microprocessor-based computer systems have usually been used for the design of larger scale embedded systems, the paradigm of the FPGA now challenges that notion of such a fixed architecture. The concept of this book is to provide a description of the new paradigm in embedded system design beginning with the functional translation of C/C++ program segments to an algorithmic state machine in Verilog behavioral synthesis, digital signal processing, digital control, and digital data communication in the FPGA, the integration of external interface peripherals, the implementation of a custom internal soft peripherals and soft core processors with a real-time operating system. This book is a strong addition to the DaVinci series, which provides hybrid titles written to teach students new technologies and provide practicing engineers with resources for up-to-date training on recent technologies. This book teaches about the most current embedded technologies.
