[Oberon] Multiprocessor interconnect design and programming

[Srinivas Nayak]

Many books are there that discuss microcontroller system design...
Many more books are there that discuss single microprocessor system design...
But no book covers yet a double microprocessor system design...

I mean, in detail...


With thanks and best regards,

Yours sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak
