Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
Design a high-speed SoC while gaining a holistic view of the FPGA design flow and overcoming its challenges. Purchase of the print or kindle book includes a free eBook in the PDF format. Key FeaturesUse development tools to implement and verify an SoC, including ARM CPUs and the FPGA logicOvercome the challenge of time to market by using FPGA SoCs and avoid the prohibitive ASIC NRE costUnderstand the integration of custom logic accelerators and the SoC software and build themBook Description Modern and complex SoCs can adapt to many demanding system requirements by combining the processing power of ARM processors and the feature-rich Xilinx FPGAs. You'll need to understand many protocols, use a variety of internal and external interfaces, pinpoint the bottlenecks, and define the architecture of an SoC in an FPGA to produce a superior solution in a timely and cost-efficient manner. This book adopts a practical approach to helping you master both the hardware and software design flows, understand key interconnects and interfaces, analyze the system performance and enhance it using the acceleration techniques, and finally build an RTOS-based software application for an advanced SoC design. You'll start with an introduction to the FPGA SoCs technology fundamentals and their associated development design tools. Gradually, the book will guide you through building the SoC hardware and software, starting from the architecture definition to testing on a demo board or a virtual platform. The level of complexity evolves as the book progresses and covers advanced applications such as communications, security, and coherent hardware acceleration. By the end of this book, you'll have learned the concepts underlying FPGA SoCs' advanced features and you'll have constructed a high-speed SoC targeting a high-end FPGA from the ground up. What you will learnUnderstand SoC FPGAs' main features, advanced buses and interface protocolsDevelop and verify an SoC hardware platform targeting an FPGA-based SoCExplore and use the main tools for building the SoC hardware and softwareBuild advanced SoCs using hardware acceleration with custom IPsImplement an OS-based software application targeting an FPGA-based SoCUnderstand the hardware and software integration techniques for SoC FPGAsUse tools to co-debug the SoC software and hardwareGain insights into communication and DSP principles in FPGA-based SoCsWho this book is for This book is for FPGA and ASIC hardware and firmware developers, IoT engineers, SoC architects, and anyone interested in understanding the process of developing a complex SoC, including all aspects of the hardware design and the associated firmware design. Prior knowledge of digital electronics, and some experience of coding in VHDL or Verilog and C or a similar language suitable for embedded systems will be required for using this book. A general understanding of FPGA and CPU architecture will also be helpful but not mandatory.

Computer System Design
Author: Michael J. Flynn
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118009916
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
The next generation of computer system designers will be less concerned about details of processors and memories, and more concerned about the elements of a system tailored to particular applications. These designers will have a fundamental knowledge of processors and other elements in the system, but the success of their design will depend on the skills in making system-level tradeoffs that optimize the cost, performance and other attributes to meet application requirements. This book provides a new treatment of computer system design, particularly for System-on-Chip (SOC), which addresses the issues mentioned above. It begins with a global introduction, from the high-level view to the lowest common denominator (the chip itself), then moves on to the three main building blocks of an SOC (processor, memory, and interconnect). Next is an overview of what makes SOC unique (its customization ability and the applications that drive it). The final chapter presents future challenges for system design and SOC possibilities.
