Embedded Core Design with FPGAs

Rate this book
A Complete Toolkit for Designing Embedded Cores and Utilizing Those Cores in an Embedded System A landmark guide in digital system design, Embedded Core Design with FPGAs equips today's computer engineers with everything they need to design embedded cores and apply those cores in a state-of-the-art embedded system. This practical resource brings together logic design, computer architecture, Verilog, FPGAs, Hardware/Software design, and SoCs, explaining how engineers can draw on their computer engineering background to achieve cutting-edge embedded designs.

Renowned design expert and educator Zainalabedin Navabi first covers the basics of logic design, RT Level Verilog, computer architectures, and the architecture of modern field programmable devices. He then explores the design of utility cores that are used for high-level core-based designs, with specific focus on existing Altera cores. Finally, he describes higher-end design methodologies, including design of hardware/software systems, CPU configurations, embedded systems, and the utilization of various Altera Nios II processors.

Читал русскоязычное издание от "ДМК Пресс". Очень хорошее качество перевода и верстки, не заметил почти никаких проблем с этим.
Сама книга, в принципе, позновательная. Можно прочитать про общие подходы к разработке цифровых устройств, какие-то общие вещи про устройство ПЛИС. В качестве отправной точки в этой сфере подойдет очень неплохо, я думаю.
Главный недостаток, пожалуй, это излишняя академичность изложения. Очень чувствуется, что книга писалась скорее как учебное пособие для студентов, которым еще и лабы делать. От практики материал несколько оторван и сфокусирован на теоретических аспектах проектирования цифровых систем. Долго описывается ручная оптимизация логических выражений, карты Карно и т.п. Есть подробнейшее (до отдельных кнопок в интерфейсе) описание программ Альтеры начала нулевых для разработки под их ПЛИС. Это четверть книги, наверное, и этот материал устарел просто безнадежно, его можно смело пролистывать.
Verilog или вообще подходы к разработке на HDL-языках учить по этой книге совершенно бесполезно. Тут краткое описание основных синтаксических конструкций + код без особых пояснений, да еще и не лучшего качества, на мой скромный взгляд.
