Ch2. SPP: Hardware Summary • Ch2: Custom Single-Purpose Processors (Hardware) – Straightforward design techniques – Can be built to execute algorithms – Typically start with FSMD – CAD tools can be of great assistance Embedded Systems Design: A Unified Hardware/Software Introduction, (c) 2000 Vahid/Givargis 34
Ch3. GPP: Software Summary • General-purpose processors (GPPs) – Good performance, low NRE, flexible • Controller, datapath, and memory • Structured languages prevail – But some assembly level programming still necessary • Many tools available – Including instruction-set simulators, and in-circuit emulators • ASIPs (Application-Specific Instruction-Set Processors) – Microcontrollers, DSPs, network processors, more customized ASIPs • Choosing among processors is an important step • Designing a general-purpose processor is conceptually the same as designing a single-purpose processor Embedded Systems Design: A Unified Hardware/Software Introduction, (c) 2000 Vahid/Givargis 35
