Edwards in is the private sector, but a colleague has used this work for a one-semester graduate and senior-undergraduate course in embedded systems, and each chapter ends with a set of simple exercises similar to those used there. Readers are assumed to be familiar with one of the hardware or software languages, such as C or Verilog. Edwards presents and contrasts languages commonly used to describe the subsystems in a cellular phone and similar digital embedded systems. They range from hardware modeling to digital signal processing, but he limits the discussion to languages that manipulate discrete, digital values, recognizing that designing real systems sometimes involves coloring outside that line but not very often.
