Modern Embedded Computing: Designing Connected, Pervasive, Media-Rich Systems provides a thorough understanding of the platform architecture of modern embedded computing systems that drive mobile devices. The book offers a comprehensive view of developing a framework for embedded systems-on-chips. Examples feature the Intel Atom processor, which is used in high-end mobile devices such as e-readers, Internet-enabled TVs, tablets, and net books.

This is a unique book in terms of its approach - moving towards consumer. It teaches readers how to design embedded processors for systems that support gaming, in-vehicle infotainment, medical records retrieval, point-of-sale purchasing, networking, digital storage, and many more retail, consumer and industrial applications. Beginning with a discussion of embedded platform architecture and Intel Atom-specific architecture, modular chapters cover system boot-up, operating systems, power optimization, graphics and multi-media, connectivity, and platform tuning. Companion lab materials complement the chapters, offering hands-on embedded design experience.

This text will appeal not only to professional embedded system designers but also to students in computer architecture, electrical engineering, and embedded system design.

  • Learn embedded systems design with the Intel Atom Processor, based on the dominant PC chip architecture. Examples use Atom and offer comparisons to other platforms
  • Design embedded processors for systems that support gaming, in-vehicle infotainment, medical records retrieval, point-of-sale purchasing, networking, digital storage, and many more retail, consumer and industrial applications
  • Explore companion lab materials online that offer hands-on embedded design experience
Industry Reviews
It is a unique book in terms of its approach - moving towards consumer electronics applications, which is a large part of the embedded processing market. It includes a focus which is not covered in many other texts, higher level concerns including networking and graphics. - Lee Coraor, Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, Penn State University I agree with the approach. I feel this book will give people a choice for using the Intel atom processor as the basis for an embedded system design course. The material is suitable for the students and the topics appear to be covered well. - Lifford McLauchlan, Associate Professor in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Texas A&M University-Kingsville There is need for a good, comprehensive book on embedded design and the lab-based approach using the Intel Architecture is very good and practical. - Tilman Wolf, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
