Designing ARM-Based Systems-on-Chips provides a systematic treatment on how to develop SOC with ARM CPU as the embedded processor.

Introductory chapters provide an up-to-date overview of the ARM architecture as well as its programming models. This is followed by a generic design methodology for systems-on-chips that identifies major design tasks including modeling, hardware/software co-design, verification, and integration. Details on each design task and illustrative examples are given throughout this valuable reference. Concluding coverage presents two design case studies that demonstrate best practices in overall design flow.

• Describes a hardware/software co-design methodology for ARM-based systems-on-chips
• Includes real-world case studies, SOC for multifunctional vehicle bus and SOC for biomedical applications
• Provides hands-on experience on system-on-chip design with many illustrative examples
• Discusses both ARM architecture and system design issues
