Embedded Systems Design with Platform FPGAs: Principles and Practices (Hardcover)

This book will introduce professional engineers and students alike to system development using Platform FPGAs. The focus is on embedded systems but it also serves as a general guide to building custom computing systems. The text describes the fundamental technology in terms of hardware, software, and a set of principles to guide the development of Platform FPGA systems. The goal is to show how to systematically and creatively apply these principles to construction of application-specific embedded system architectures. There is a strong focus on using free and open Source software to increase productivity.

The organization of each chapter in the book includes two parts. The white pages describe concepts, principles, and general knowledge. The gray pages include a technical rendition of the main issues of the chapter and show the concepts applied in practice. This includes step-by-step details for a specific development board and tool chain so that the reader can carry out the same steps on their own. Rather than try to demonstrate the concepts on a broad set of tools and boards, the text uses a single set of tools (Xilinx Platform Studio, Linux, and GNU) throughout and uses single developer board (Xilinx ML-510) for the examples.

• Explains how to use the Platform FPGA to meet complex design requirements and improve product performance
• Presents both fundamental concepts together with pragmatic, step-by-step instructions for building a system on a Platform FPGA
• Includes detailed case studies, extended real-world examples, and lab exercises

這本書將介紹專業工程師和學生如何使用平台FPGA進行系統開發。重點是嵌入式系統，但也作為構建自定義計算系統的一般指南。本書描述了硬件、軟件和一套原則，以指導平台FPGA系統的開發。目標是展示如何系統地和有創意地應用這些原則來構建特定應用的嵌入式系統架構。本書強調使用免費和開源軟件以提高生產力。

本書的每個章節組織包括兩個部分。白色頁面描述概念、原則和一般知識。灰色頁面包括該章節主要問題的技術描述，並展示這些概念在實踐中的應用。這包括特定開發板和工具鏈的逐步詳細信息，以便讀者可以自行執行相同的步驟。本書不試圖在廣泛的工具和開發板集合上演示概念，而是始終使用一套工具（Xilinx平台工作室、Linux和GNU），並使用單一開發板（Xilinx ML-510）作為示例。

本書的特點包括：
- 解釋如何使用平台FPGA滿足複雜的設計要求並提高產品性能
- 提供基本概念以及實用的、逐步指導在平台FPGA上構建系統的說明
- 包括詳細的案例研究、擴展的實際示例和實驗練習。
