Here an embedded System-on-Chip is build, in an Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA with Microblaze as the processor.A PLB core System is made with the VGA IP core attached to it. The software written for the MicroBlaze processor specifies the object, the color and the movement of the display. The functionality of the module is verified by implementation on Spartan 3.

his book covers basic communications theory and practical imple-
mentation of transmitters and receivers. In so doing, I focus on dig-
ital modulation, demodulation methods, probabilities, detection of
digital signals, and spread spectrum system design and analysis. This book
was written for those who want a good understanding of the basic prin-
ciples of digital wireless communication systems, including spread spec-
trum techniques. This book also provides a good intuitive and practical
approach to digital communications. Therefore it is a valuable resource for
anyoneinvolvedinwirelesscommunicationsandtransceiverdesignfordig-
ital communications. The reader will gain a broad understanding of basic
communication principles for transceiver design, digital communications,
and spread spectrum, along with examples of many types of commercial
and military data link systems.
This texts contemporary approach focuses on the concepts of linear control systems, rather than computational mechanics. Straightforward coverage includes an integrated treatment of both classical and modern control system methods. The text emphasizes design with discussions of problem formulation, design criteria, physical constraints, several design methods, and implementation of compensators.Discussions of topics not found in other texts--such as pole placement, model matching and robust tracking--add to the texts cutting-edge presentation. Students will appreciate the applications and discussions of practical aspects, including the leading problem in developing block diagrams, noise, disturbances, and plant perturbations. State feedback and state estimators are designed using state variable equations and transfer functions, offering a comparison of the two approaches. The incorporation of MATLAB throughout the text helps students to avoid time-consuming computation and concentrate on control system design and analysis
Embedded computer systems permeate all aspects of our daily lives.
Alarm clocks, coffee makers, digital watches, cell phones, and automobiles
are just a few of the devices that make use of embedded systems. The
design and development of such systems is unique, because the design
constraints are different for each system. Essential to the development of
an embedded system is an understanding of the hardware and software
used for development.
The idea for this book was born during one of my project-related trips to the beautiful city
of Hangzhou in China, where in the role of Chief Architect I had to guide a team of very
young, very smart and extremely dedicated software developers and verification engineers.
Soon it became clear that as eager as the team was to jump into the coding, it did not have
any experience in system architecture and design and if I did not want to spend all my time in
constant travel between San Francisco and Hangzhou, the only option was to groom a number
of local junior architects. Logically, one of the first questions being asked by these carefully
selected future architects was whether I could recommend a book or other learning material
that could speed up the learning cycle. I could not. Of course, there were many books on
various related topics, but many of them were too old and most of the updated information
was either somewhere on the Internet dispersed between many sites and online magazines, or
buried in my brain along with many years of experience of system architecture.
