Architecting and Building High-Speed SoCs: Design, develop, and debug complex FPGA-based systems-on-chip

A Bible for design and verification using Xilinx FPGAs. The author has given a very practical and detailed explanation of building complex HW/SW Co-Designs with detailed walkthroughs using current toolsets. An excellent book for young engineers entering in to the field of SOC/FPGA designs with detailed explanation and handling of current protocols and standards. Also an excellent guide for ASIC/SOC engineers who are venturing in to FPGA designs. For expert designers it provide handy references to protocols like OCP, AMBA, PCIe, DDRs and many others. The book also provides detailed walk throughs of building software/HW COSIMs and designs using Xilinx VITIS tool and flows. The book fills the gap in the market by handholding the freshers from introductions to deep understanding of how to build complex SOCs using multiple standards and protocols. An essential and practical guide for every SOC design/verification engineer.

It is not so easy to read when you just to start to learn it. There are many SOC interconnections introductions. Not very deep but board and generic. After you spend time reading it, it is not so hard to read. But the print out pictures are too small to follow it on the SOC tools. Some of them are not clear, example p210, step10, 11, so I can't exactly follow up and build my own.Need time to resolve it. But it is a good book to learn it.
