Charles River Media | 2009 | ISBN: 1584505664 | 641 pages | PDF | 5,1 MB

Many A+ certification guides prepare aspiring PC technicians to pass the exam, but they don’t put test objectives in a “practical use” context. Other PC repair guides cover A+ exam objectives in a real-world setting, but they don’t prepare students well enough to pass the test and get certifi ed. The A+ Exams Guide, Second Edition solves this problem by combining a complete test preparation for the new A+ examinations [Essentials (aka 220-601), 220-602, 220-603, and 220-604] with a hands-on guide that refl ects how the A+ exam questions apply to real-world PC repair problems. The book teaches users how to install and troubleshoot hardware, and provides solutions to common operating system-related problems for machines running Microsoft Windows. Each chapter includes numerous diagrams and photographs, and explains PC repair techniques using easy-to-understand language and accessible terms. Additionally, the book’s companion CD-ROM includes hundreds of CertBlaster A+ practice questions for all four of the current A+ exams so you can test yourself as you work through the book. This is the only guide you need to pass the A+ exams and get certified!

Verilog HDL by Samir Palnitkar

Verilog HDL by Samir Palnitkar
Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR (January 15, 1996) | ISBN: 0134516753 | Pages: 396 | PDF | 11.11 MB

Stresses the practical design perspective of Verilog rather than emphasizing only the language aspects. The information presented is fully compliant with the upcoming IEEE 1364 Verilog HDL standard. The book is intended primarily for beginners and intermediate-level Verilog users. However, for advanced Verilog users, the broad coverage of topics makes it an excellent reference book to be used in conjunction with the manuals and training materials of Verilog-based products. The book presents a logical progression of Verilog HDL-based topics. It starts with the basics, such as HDL-based design methodologies, and then gradually builds on the basics to eventually reach advanced topics, such as PLI or logic synthesis. Thus, the book is useful to Verilog users with varying levels of expertise as explained below.

Hardware/Firmware Interface Design: Best Practices for Improving Embedded Systems Development By Gary Stringham
Newnes | Pages: 376 | 2009-12-01 | ISBN 1856176053 | PDF | 2 MB

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 practicies 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

The Complete IS-IS Routing Protocol

Walter Goralski, "The Complete IS-IS Routing Protocol"
Springer | 2004 | ISBN: 1852338229 | 540 pages | PDF | 6,2 MB

The IS-IS routing protocol has gone through a high-speed evolution in recent years. Initially deployed by the largest ISPs in a desperate search for a stable link-state protocol, it quickly gained popularity for its advantages in link-state routing. Today, it is a widely deployed protocol even at smaller ISPs but because of its meteoric adoption it has been sparsely documented. As service providers add multivendor platforms from both Cisco and Juniper Networks, it is difficult to get a complete picture of the IS-IS that is deployed in the field. As service providers deploy increasingly multivendor implementations of IS-IS, they desperately need to know how to interoperate the protocol on different routing platforms. Only a book such as The Complete IS-IS Routing Protocol can provide the insight and practical solutions necessary, because it takes a multivendor, real-world competitive approach to implementing IS-IS. The Complete IS-IS Routing Protocol will be the seminal book on IS-IS for many years to come.

Parallel Port Complete

Parallel Port Complete
Author Jan Axelson Year 2000 | 300 pages | ISBN : 0965081915 | PDF | 5 MB

From its origin as a simple printer interface, the personal computer's parallel port has evolved into a place to plug in just about anything you might want to hook to a computer. The parallel port is popular because it's versatile-you can use it for output, input, or bidirectional links-and because it's available-every PC has one.

Printers are still the most common devices connected to the port, but other popular options include external tape and disk drives and scanners. Laptop computers may use a parallel-port-based network interface or joystick. For special applications, there are dozens of parallel-port devices for use in data collection, testing, and control systems. And the parallel port is the interface of choice for many one-of-a-kind and small-scale projects that require communications between a computer and an external device.
