Wearable Embedded Computing for Multimodal Health Monitoring: with Dual-core Omap3 First-hand Guide & Tutorials Matthias Klostermann

Embedded Programmers and developers are always in search for the book, that facilitates "Learning by doing" method at their disposal. This book is designed for such enthusiastic programmers to lift-off their mission. Growing interest in state-of-the-art dual-core embedded OMAP processor among university faculty, students and innovators has motivated us to design this book. First portion of the book focuses on emerging application area for OMAP processors, wearable health monitoring that recently begs tremendous attention in healthcare, sports and lifestyle-oriented technologies. The book constructs the concept of wearable health monitoring and thoroughly describes its design based on the dual-core OMAP3530 processor. Book's last portion is a first-hand guide for using OMAP3530 and its development board BeagleBoard. The book ends with easy-to-understand tutorials on programming both cores of OMAP3530; ARM Cortex-A8 and DSP C64x+.
