商品描述

Embedded Systems: ARM Programming and Optimization 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. It demonstrates methods by which a programmer can optimize program code in a way that does not impact its behavior but improves its performance. Several applications, including image transformations, fractal generation, image convolution, and computer vision tasks, are used to describe and demonstrate these methods. From this, the reader will gain insight into computer architecture and application design, as well as gain practical knowledge in the area of embedded software design for modern embedded systems.

  • Covers three ARM instruction set architectures, the ARMv6 and ARMv7-A, as well as three ARM cores, the ARM11 on the Raspberry Pi, Cortex-A9 on the Xilinx Zynq 7020, and Cortex-A15 on the NVIDIA Tegra K1
  • Describes how to fully leverage the facilities offered by the Linux operating system, including the Linux GCC compiler toolchain and debug tools, performance monitoring support, OpenMP multicore runtime environment, video frame buffer, and video capture capabilities
  • Designed to accompany and work with most of the low cost Linux/ARM embedded development boards currently available

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《嵌入式系統:ARM程式設計與優化》結合了對ARM架構的探索和對Linux操作系統提供的功能的研究,以解釋程式設計的各種特性如何影響處理器的性能。它展示了一個程式設計師如何優化程式碼,以改善性能而不影響其行為。書中使用了多個應用案例,包括圖像轉換、分形生成、圖像卷積和計算機視覺任務,來描述和演示這些方法。通過閱讀本書,讀者將獲得有關計算機架構和應用設計的見解,並獲得現代嵌入式系統的嵌入式軟體設計的實用知識。

本書涵蓋了三種ARM指令集架構,包括ARMv6和ARMv7-A,以及三種ARM核心,分別是Raspberry Pi上的ARM11,Xilinx Zynq 7020上的Cortex-A9和NVIDIA Tegra K1上的Cortex-A15。

本書還介紹了如何充分利用Linux操作系統提供的設施,包括Linux GCC編譯器工具鏈和調試工具、性能監測支援、OpenMP多核運行時環境、視訊幀緩衝區和視訊捕獲功能。

本書設計用於配合目前市面上大多數低成本的Linux/ARM嵌入式開發板使用。
