The skills and guidance needed to master RTL hardware designThis book teaches readers how to systematically design efficient, portable, and scalable Register Transfer Level (RTL) digital circuits using the VHDL hardware description language and synthesis software. Focusing on the module-level design, which is composed of functional units, routing circuit, and storage, the book illustrates the relationship between the VHDL constructs and the underlying hardware components, and shows how to develop codes that faithfully reflect the module-level design and can be synthesized into efficient gate-level implementation.Several unique features distinguish the book:* Coding style that shows a clear relationship between VHDL constructs and hardware components*...

A practical guide to using the TMS320C31 DSP Starter KitWith applications and demand for high-performing digital signal processors expanding rapidly, it is becoming increasingly important for today's students and practicing engineers to master real-time digital signal processing (DSP) techniques.Digital Signal Processing: Laboratory Experiments Using C and the TMS320C31 DSK offers users a practical--and economicalm--approach to understanding DSP principles, designs, and applications. Demonstrating Texas Instruments' (TI) state-of-the-art, low-priced DSP Starter Kit (DSK), this book clearly illustrates and integrates practical aspects of real-time DSP implementation techniques and complex DSP concepts into lab exercises and experiments. TI's TMS320C31...

This book looks at network security in a new and refreshing way. It guides readers step-by-step through the "stack" -- the seven layers of a network. Each chapter focuses on one layer of the stack along with the attacks, vulnerabilities, and exploits that can be found at that layer. The book even includes a chapter on the mythical eighth layer: The people layer. This book is designed to offer readers a deeper understanding of many common vulnerabilities and the ways in which attacker's exploit, manipulate, misuse, and abuse protocols and applications. The authors guide the readers through this process by using tools such as Ethereal (sniffer) and Snort (IDS). The sniffer is used to help readers understand how the protocols should work and w...
