Digital Design and Computer Architecture: ARM Edition 1st Edition by Sarah L. Harris (PDF)

Description

Digital Design and Computer Architecture: ARM Edition covers the fundamentals of digital logic design and reinforces logic concepts through the design of an ARM microprocessor. Combining an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and hands-on approach to digital design, this book takes the reader from the fundamentals of digital logic to the actual design of an ARM processor. By the end of this book, readers will be able to build their own microprocessor and will have a top-to-bottom understanding of how it works.Beginning with digital logic gates and progressing to the design of combinational and sequential circuits, this book uses these fundamental building blocks as the basis for designing an ARM processor. System Verilog and VHDL are integrated throughout the text in examples illustrating the methods and techniques for CAD-based circuit design. The companion website includes a chapter on I/O systems with practical examples that show how to use the Raspberry Pi computer to communicate with peripheral devices such as LCDs, Bluetooth radios, and motors.This book will be a valuable resource for students taking a course that combines digital logic and computer architecture or students taking a two-quarter sequence in digital logic and computer organization/architecture.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐It was over 30 years ago that I first took a course in computer architecture. I didn’t end up working in the hardware field but recently given what Apple has done with the ARM technology I decided to think about working on hardware again. I also had some training in CMOS so I just needed an up-to-date textbook in each subject. This one is an awesome textbook. It covers everything from A to Z in modern computer architecture from the RISC perspective, using ARM as the real-world model. I’m (re-)learning so much. Totally recommending this.

⭐This book is overall pretty great. It covers all the basic material that you need to know with simplicity. I recommend this book if you really want to know the details of an ARM processor.

⭐I took a digital design class and hated the book. The material is dry in nature, so there’s not much you can do to make an enticing design/architecture book. I’m in computer architecture now, and my school is using this book for the first time. I freaking love it. Something about it makes me want to read the whole thing. The art really takes away any intimidation, and the lessons are very concise. Some might feel that there is not enough info in here, but I say “that’s what teachers are for!” Anyways, water spilled on my copy and I almost cried. I think I’m going to keep it forever.

⭐The best book on Digital Design/Computer Architecture!Used this book as a supplement to the Computer Organization and Design textbook required for my class and I was finally able to understand concepts and get my project working in Verilog.I highly recommend either the ARM or MIPS edition as appropriate to your class/project.

⭐This is a very well written book. The wording understandable, but doesn’t lose its accuracy or “dumb down” the subject. It covers all the bases needed for some pretty decent digital design (all the way up to a simple MIPS processor). Informative and thought-provoking problems at the end that really tested the knowledge of the subjects. Would recommend for anybody who is new to the subject but wants a good introduction!

⭐Very detailed overview of building a microprocessor both in the theoretical sense and practical implementation using HDL. It takes you through designing a simplified ARMv4 CPU that performs several common instructions.

⭐The kindle edition of this book fails to provide the following:Table of contentFiguresDiagramsTableLinks to respective website

⭐Great book for programmers who decided to pick up electronics. Starts with basics such as a boolean algebra and continues into the CPU design.

⭐The kindle version of this book is nearly unusable due to formatting issues.As others have said, it has excellent content,but there is terrible formatting on kindle.The problem is with the tables, figures and additional information, which seem to just randomly appear in the middle of a sentence at times, breaking off the sentence until a couple page turns later.It probably would have worked better if there was a link provided to these instead.

⭐It should be said that this book is a platform. From which someone with little knowledge of digital logic at the start of the book by the end may be able to apply their knowledge to understand in great depth how a microcontroller works – with a specialisation in ARM controllers, although the book begins from a more general standpoint. I would argue that it is particularly aimed at scholars and other academics wanting to learn more about computer architecture but also follows on from the A-Level standard of Computer Science.

⭐I really enjoyed the book. It takes the reader from the very basics of digital design to implementing a (simple) processor. It is written well. The chapter on the processor implementation alone makes it well worth the money.

⭐No meu PC e celular algumas partes do texto e praticamente todas as tabelas estão desconfiguradas. O conteúdo da tabela está linearizado como se fosse texto, tornando a leitura das tabelas impossível. Além disso em algumas partes há mais problemas onde os exemplos se misturam com texto e tabelas que se misturam com texto. Além de caracteres estranhos em algumas equações no lugar de caracteres de operações lógicas.

⭐

⭐El mejor libro sobre Diseño digital y arquitectura de computadores, viene el ingles, pero es una completa maravilla, volvería a comprarlo una y otra vez, lo malo, es que viene el ingles, pero bueno, así se practica
