Learning Computer Architecture


With Raspberry Pi
Use your Raspberry Pi to get smart about computing fundamentals In the 1980s, the tech revolution
was kickstarted by a flood of relatively inexpensive, highly programmable computers like the
Commodore. Now, a second revolution in computing is beginning with the Raspberry Pi. Learning
Computer Architecture with the Raspberry Pi is the premier guide to understanding the components
of the most exciting tech product available. Thanks to this book, every Raspberry Pi owner can
understand how the computer works and how to access all of its hardware and software capabilities.
Now, students, hackers, and casual users alike can discover how computers work with Learning
Computer Architecture with the Raspberry Pi. This book explains what each and every hardware
component does, how they relate to one another, and how they correspond to the components of
other computing systems. You'll also learn how programming works and how the operating system
relates to the Raspberry Pi's physical components. Co-authored by Eben Upton, one of the
creators of the Raspberry Pi, this is a companion volume to the Raspberry Pi User Guide An
affordable solution for learning about computer system design considerations and experimenting
with low-level programming Understandable descriptions of the functions of memory storage,
Ethernet, cameras, processors, and more Gain knowledge of computer design and operation in
general by exploring the basic structure of the Raspberry Pi The Raspberry Pi was created to bring
forth a new generation of computer scientists, developers, and architects who understand the inner
workings of the computers that have become essential to our daily lives. Learning Computer
Architecture with the Raspberry Pi is your gateway to the world of computer system design.

I was debating giving this book two stars but I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and
consider that there probably is a certain audience that would find this book helpful. That audience is
beginning young computer enthusiasts and makers (Arduino/Raspberry Pi) and college sophomores
supplementing their basic Digital Design coursework.To start, lets talk about what this book is not,
and that I believe most buyers like myself, were hoping it would be. This book is not about how
Eben Upton developed the Raspberry Pi. There are no chapters dealing with spec-ing active and
passive components, PCB layout, MCU selection, voltage and current considerations, writing
firmware, selecting and customizing an OS, programming on-board chips, re-configurable logic,
networking chips, or integrating peripherals. What you are basically getting for thirty dollars is
Schaum's Outline of Computer Architecture ($3 used) with some updated material and hand-waving
at the Raspberry Pi. Perhaps a better description of this book is that of a dumbed down, college
sophomore version of the unpleasant yet venerable Patterson and Hennessy CompArch tome we
all had the misfortune of reading as an academic, and non-practical, soporific. So really read over
the table of contents for this book and realize you are buying a book on generic computer
architecture with very little Raspberry Pi specific details. If you think this book is going to give you
any practical insights for building your own computer, or how that process works, forget it, this is
purely an academic/theoretically introduction covering generic computer basics.Two final points: I
highly doubt Eben Upton had much to do with writing this book besides being listed as the author
and writing or approving the introduction.
