The integration of electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, control and computer engineering - Mechatronics - lies at the heart of the innumerable gadgets, processes and technology without which modern life would seem impossible. From auto-focus cameras to car engine management systems, and from state-of-the-art robots to the humble washing machine, Mechatronics has a hand in them all.

For one or two-semester courses in Microprocessors or Intel 16-32 Bit Chips. Future designers of microprocessor-based electronic equipment need a systems-level understanding of the 80x86 microcomputer. This text offers thorough, balanced, and practical coverage of both software and hardware topics. Basic concepts are developed using the 8088 and 8086 microprocessors, but the 32-bit versions of the 80x86 family are also discussed. The authors examine how to assemble, run, and debug programs, and how to build, test, and troubleshoot interface circuits.

This two-part book puts the spotlight on how a real-time kernel works using Micrium's C/OS-III kernel as a reference. Part I includes an overview of the operation of real-time kernels, and walks through various aspects of C/OS-III implementation and usage. Part II provides application examples (using the versatile Renesas YRDKRX62N Evaluation Board, available separately) that enable readers to rapidly develop their own prototypes. This book is written for serious embedded systems programmers, consultants, hobbyists, and students interested in understanding the inner workings of a real-time kernel. C/OS-III is not just a great learning platform, but also a full commercial-grade software package, ready to be part of a wide range of products. C/OS-III is a highly portable, ROMable, scalable, preemptive real-time, multitasking kernel designed specifically to address the demanding requirements of today 's embedded systems. C/OS-III is the successor to the highly popular C/OS-II real-time kernel but can use most of C/OS-II 's ports with minor modifications. Some of the features of C/OS-III are:

Preemptive multitasking with round-robin scheduling of tasks at the same priority
Supports and unlimited number of tasks and other kernel objects
Rich set of services: semaphores, mutual exclusion semaphores with full priority inheritance, event flags, message queues, timers, fixed-size memory block management, and more.
Built-in performance measurements

This book puts the spotlight on how a real-time kernel works using Micrium s C/OS-III as a reference. The book consists of two complete parts. The first describes real-time kernels in generic terms. Part II provide examples for the reader, using Texas Instruments EVM-EVALBOT, a small, robotic evaluation board. The board is based on the Stellaris LM3S9B92 which combines the popular ARM Cortex-M3(r) architecture with Ethernet MAC+PHY, USB OTG (On-The-Go), and I2S. Together with the IAR Systems Embedded Workbench for ARM development tools, the evaluation board provides everything necessary to enable the reader to be up and running quickly, as well as a fun and educational experience, resulting in a high-level of proficiency in a short time.

System-on-chip (SoC) technology is revolutionizing the way computers are designed and used, driving down their cost and making them more pervasive than ever before. However, it's extremely challenging for designers to get their SoC designs right the first time. ARM System Architecture, Second Edition gives system designers an authoritative, inside perspective on SoC design -- and on ARM, the world's #1, fastest-growing SoC platform for mobile phones and information appliances. The insights in this book will be crucial to every system designer and ARM licensee seeking to build more effective SoC designs -- and get them to market more quickly. KEY TOPICS: In contrast to most ARM documentation, this book explains not only what ARM is, but why -- and how you can leverage it most effectively. Expert system designer and ARM specialist Steve Furber introduces the key design challenges associated with SoC systems, including memory hierarchy, caches, memory management, on-chip debug, and production test. Next, he presents state-of-the-art ARM-based solutions for each key problem. Furber reviews the entire ARM processor family, helping designers choose the most appropriate solutions; and covers both the ARM and Thumb programming models, providing real-world guidance for developing applications more quickly and effectively. The book includes a helpful review of the fundamentals of computer architecture, as well as valuable coverage of related topics such as digital signal processing and asynchronous design. MARKET:
