This second edition is not only a thorough update of the first edition,

it is also a marriage of the best-known RISC architecture--MIPS--with

the best-known open-source OS--Linux. The first part of the book begins

with MIPS design principles and then describes the MIPS instruction set

and programmers resources. It uses the MIPS32 standard as a baseline

(the 1st edition used the R3000) from which to compare all other

versions of the architecture and assumes that MIPS64 is the main option.

The second part is a significant change from the first edition. It

provides concrete examples of operating system low level code, by using

Linux as the example operating system. It describes how Linux is built

on the foundations the MIPS hardware provides and summarizes the Linux

application environment, describing the libraries, kernel device-drivers

and CPU-specific code. It then digs deep into application code and

library support, protection and memory management, interrupts in the

Linux kernel and multiprocessor Linux. Sweetman has revised his

best-selling MIPS bible for MIPS programmers, embedded systems

designers, developers and programmers, who need an in-depth

understanding of the MIPS architecture and specific guidance for writing

software for MIPS-based systems, which are increasingly Linux-based.

* Completely new material offers the best explanation available on how

Linux runs on real hardware.

* Provides a complete, updated and easy-to-use guide to the MIPS

instruction set using the MIPS32 standard as the baseline architecture

with the MIPS64 as the main option.

* Retains the same engaging writing style that made the first edition so

readable, reflecting the authors 20years experience in designing

systems based on the MIPS architecture.
