eTPU Programming Made Easy, in Japanese!
This book is created in two parts: Part I begins almost immediately
into eTPU programming, introduces eTPU concepts on an as-needed basis,
and provides a problem-based approach to learning to code the eTPU.
Part II provides a complete and detailed explanation of all aspects
of the eTPU. Readers who want a full understanding of the eTPU itself
before learning to program it or who wish to gain quicker insight
into certain portions of the eTPU, can consult Part II of this book
first or in tandem with Part I. It is assumed the reader has a basic
knowledge of C. In short, we hope that this dual-part approach will
cater to almost all backgrounds and all learning styles.
The book concentrates on algorithm construction and implementation
with examples in C. Those who are familiar with the Time Processor
Unit (TPU) and TPU microcoding will have little difficulty understanding
the Enhanced Time Processor Unit (eTPU) and how to program it. While
prior knowledge of TPU or eTPU is helpful, those new to the eTPU will
be able to learn its operation and programming. Fortunately, the eTPU
tools (C Compiler from Byte Craft and Simulator from ASH WARE) make
your task easier to program the eTPU.
