The Firmware Handbook by Jack Ganssle Pdf

The Firmware Handbook provides a comprehensive reference for firmware developers looking to increase their skills and productivity. It addresses each critical step of the development process in detail, including how to optimize hardware design for better firmware. Topics covered include real-time issues, interrupts and ISRs, memory management (including Flash memory), handling both digital and analog peripherals, communications interfacing, math subroutines, error handling, design tools, and troubleshooting and debugging. This book is not for the beginner, but rather is an in-depth, comprehensive one-volume reference that addresses all the major issues in firmware design and development, including the pertinent hardware issues. Included CD-Rom contains all the source code used in the design examples, so engineers can easily use it in their own designs

Hardware/Firmware Interface Design by Gary Stringham Pdf

Why care about hardware/firmware interaction? These interfaces are critical, a solid hardware design married with adaptive firmware can access all the capabilities of an application and overcome limitations caused by poor communication. For the first time, a book has come along that will help hardware engineers and firmware engineers work together to mitigate or eliminate problems that occur when hardware and firmware are not optimally compatible. Solving these issues will save time and money, getting products to market sooner to create more revenue. The principles and best practices presented in this book will prove to be a valuable resource for both hardware and firmware engineers. Topics include register layout, interrupts, timing and performance, aborts, and errors. Real world cases studies will help to solidify the principles and best practices with an aim towards cleaner designs, shorter schedules, and better implementation! Reduce product development delays with the best practices in this book Concepts apply to ASICs, ASSPs, SoCs, and FPGAs Real-world examples and case studies highlight the good and bad of design processes

Digital Systems and Hardware/Firmware Algorithms by Milos D. Ercegovac,Tomás Lang Pdf

This modern treatment of digital system specification, analysis, and design covers all topics from gates and flip-flops to complex hardware and system software algorithms. An upper-level undergraduate/graduate text, it uses two complementary approaches--system model and algorithmic model--in dealing with structured analysis and design, and separates specification from implementation to allow for the ready application of concepts to practical system design. Extensive illustrations and 500 exercises.

Principles of Firmware Engineering in Microprogram Control by Michael Andrews Pdf

Firmware engineering is the practical application of scientific knowledge to the design of computer programs, and the construction and later associated documentation required to develop, operate, and maintain them. This book recognizes the broad implications of firmware engineering which no single text can fully cover. Rather, it is our intent to develop the significant phase of firmware engineering, namely the design and specification of microprogrammable control units. Our hope is to provide the firmware engineer with useful tools.

Building Secure Firmware by Jiewen Yao,Vincent Zimmer Pdf

Use this book to build secure firmware. As operating systems and hypervisors have become successively more hardened, malware has moved further down the stack and into firmware. Firmware represents the boundary between hardware and software, and given its persistence, mutability, and opaqueness to today’s antivirus scanning technology, it represents an interesting target for attackers. As platforms are universally network-connected and can contain multiple devices with firmware, and a global supply chain feeds into platform firmware, assurance is critical for consumers, IT enterprises, and governments. This importance is highlighted by emergent requirements such as NIST SP800-193 for firmware resilience and NIST SP800-155 for firmware measurement. This book covers the secure implementation of various aspects of firmware, including standards-based firmware—such as support of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF), and Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specifications—and also provides code samples and use cases. Beyond the standards, alternate firmware implementations such as ARM Trusted Firmware and other device firmware implementations (such as platform roots of trust), are covered. What You Will learn Get an overview of proactive security development for firmware, including firmware threat modeling Understand the details of architecture, including protection, detection, recovery, integrity measurement, and access control Be familiar with best practices for secure firmware development, including trusted execution environments, cryptography, and language-based defenses Know the techniques used for security validation and maintenance Who This Book Is For Given the complexity of modern platform boot requirements and the threat landscape, this book is relevant for readers spanning from IT decision makers to developers building firmware

Beyond BIOS by Vincent Zimmer,Michael Rothman,Suresh Marisetty Pdf

This book provides an overview of modern boot firmware, including the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and its associated EFI Developer Kit II (EDKII) firmware. The authors have each made significant contributions to developments in these areas. The reader will learn to use the latest developments in UEFI on modern hardware, including open source firmware and open hardware designs. The book begins with an exploration of interfaces exposed to higher-level software and operating systems, and commences to the left of the boot timeline, describing the flow of typical systems, beginning with the machine restart event. Software engineers working with UEFI will benefit greatly from this book, while specific sections of the book address topics relevant for a general audience: system architects, pre-operating-system application developers, operating system vendors (loader, kernel), independent hardware vendors (such as for plug-in adapters), and developers of end-user applications. As a secondary audience, project technical leaders or managers may be interested in this book to get a feel for what their engineers are doing. The reader will find: An overview of UEFI and underlying Platform Initialization (PI) specifications How to create UEFI applications and drivers Workflow to design the firmware solution for a modern platform Advanced usages of UEFI firmware for security and manageability
