Trends in Embedded Design Using Programmable Gate Arrays

This text describes modern embedded processing systems using the Field Programmable Gate Array. This new paradigm in embedded design utilizes the Verilog Hardware Descriptive Language behavioral synthesis of controller and datapath constructs and the finite state machine for digital signal processing, communications and control with the FPGA, external hard core and internal soft core peripherals. This text features the Xilinx Spartan-6 Nexys 3 and Atlys evaluation boards, the Xilinx ISE EDA and …
