Description Understand essential hardware details Walk through an embedded system startup Build an extensible development platform Prebuilt G N U X-Tools™for 21 Platforms Build embedded microprocessor-based systems from the ground up. Develop an integrated understanding of hardware and software issues by exploring the interaction of the firmware and hardware during the first critical few seconds after the microprocessor is powered up. By focusing on these crucial junctures, where software meets hardware, you learn what makes embedded development different from application development. Master each key step in the startup and development process by working through a complete field-tested solution. You get hands-on experience with the fundamental steps in starting an embedded system — from the basic boot in assembly language, exception handling, flash drivers and a flash file system, serial and ethernet connections, right on up to a network-bootable application. Working with a simple schematic, you will learn how instructions are fetched from memory, and appreciate the implications of FLASH vs. EPROM, SRAM vs. DRAM, microcontroller vs. microprocessor, and data bus vs. address bus. Get up and running fast by combining the critical components into a sophisticated boot platform that can be used to implement a minimal run-time environment on a wide range of microprocessor-based systems. Complete source code is provided for an embedded systems boot platform that contains all of the scaffolding on which to build your applications. The companion CD-ROM contains source code, user documentation for the boot platform, and a full, unrestricted GPL distribution of Microcross GNU X-Tools that includes cross-compilers, cross-assemblers, simulators, board support libraries, and other prebuilt, ready-to-use embedded development tools for 21 target processors.
