Released by guojerry@teamfly This book introduces embedded systems to C and C++ programmers. Topics include testing memory devices, writing and erasing Flash memory, verifying nonvolatile memory contents, controlling on-chip peripherals, device driver design and implementation, optimizing embedded code for size and speed, and making the most of C++ without a performance penalty.

Embedded memories consume an increasing portion of the die area in deep submicron systems-on-a-chip (SOCs). Manufacturing test of embedded memories is an essential step in the SOC production that screens out the defective chips and accelerates the transition from the yield learning phase to the volume production phase of a new manufacturing technology. Built-in self-test (BIST) is establishing ...

Memory is a key parameter in embedded systems since both code complexity of embedded applications and amount of data they process are increasing. While it is true that the memory capacity of embedded systems is continuously increasing, the increases in the application complexity and dataset sizes are far greater. As a consequence, the memory space demand of code and data should be kept minimum....

System-on-a-chip FPGAs including embedded processors (hard or soft), busses, memory and hardware accelerators provide an opportunity for system designers to develop high performance, optimal systems. However, to realize the promise of this vision, a complete tool chain from concept to implementation is required. We describe an automated design framework that enables development of hardware / so...

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is one of the most widely used algorithms in digital signal processing. It is used in many signal processing and communication applications. many of the FFT operations are performed in embedded systems. Since Embedded systems is very small processors used in almost all type of appliances from microwave ovens to cars, and many embedded systems are portable and depend...

The problem discussed in this paper is the effect of latency time on the OGY chaos control methodology in multi chaotic systems. The Smith predictor, rhythmic and memory strategies are embedded in the OGY chaos control method to encounter loop latency. A comparison study is provided and the advantages of the Smith predictor approach are clearly evident from the closed loop responses. The comple...
