Incorporate embedded computing technology in projects and devices of all sizes

This comprehensive engineering textbook lays out foundational computer architecture principles and teaches, step by step, how to apply those concepts in cutting-edge embedded applications. The book includes everything you need to know about embedded computing—from fundamentals and processor internals to networking and connectivity.

Computer Systems: An Embedded Approach begins by thoroughly explaining constituent hardware components, including processors, storage devices, and accelerators. From there, the book shows how operating systems work and how they provide a layer of services between hardware and software. You will get coverage of foundational networking, pervasive computing concepts, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The book concludes with a look to the future of embedded computing systems.
