Download Description:
Hardware/software co-verification is how to make sure that embedded system software works correctly with the hardware, and that the hardware has been properly designed to run the software successfully -before large sums are spent on prototypes or manufacturing. This is the first book to apply this verification technique to the rapidly growing field of embedded systems-on-a-chip(SoC). As traditional embedded system design evolves into single-chip design, embedded engineers must be armed with the necessary information to make educated decisions about which tools and methodology to deploy. SoC verification requires a mix of expertise from the disciplines of microprocessor and computer architecture, logic design and simulation, and C and Assembly language embedded software. Until now, the relevant information on how it all fits together has not been available.

Jason Andrews’ book is one of the nicest, smooth-flowing books I have read recently.
I often avoid reading technical books, since they do not flow at all! Jason has made system verification come out alive and easy for people like me using scores of practical real-life examples. It is very helpful for chip designers and verification engineers/executives like me who are slowly moving up the food chain to system-level for SoC development and design re-use.
What’s more — the book is a lot more reasonably than many others on similar topics! I bought my copy at almost a third of the price I have paid for similar books!
