Know it all - Newnes' embedded series catalog
Review written by: Cheong Soon Yau From UK
The book is like a catalog of Newnes' embedded series. Content of each of the chapters is basically taken from Newnes book. For example,Chapter 2 Device Drivers is taken from the book "Embedded Systems Architecture" and Chapter 7 Techniques for Embedded Media Processing is taken from "Embedded Media Processing". Well, it is not difficult to guess which books they were taken from, as the books are shown on the page on the back of the front page.

Alright, so what is the consequence of different writers writing on different topics without knowing what others were writing? The result is, a lot of inconsistency and yet overlapping between chapters. The wide range of microprocessor examples used in this books includes Rabbit, TI DSP, Freescale. However, many common topics such as code optimization, real time system appear in 2 or more chapters. I quickly ran through the table of content and found MMU in Chapter 3 and 5, Code optimization in Chapter 7,8 and 9.

If you are a fans of Newnes embedded series, or would like to find out what is this like, then maybe this is the book for you.
