SoC & Application Processors

Curated: step up from the basics to how a real System-on-Chip and its application processor (ARM Cortex-A class) actually work — what a SoC integrates, MCU vs MPU, the cache/memory hierarchy, pipelining, virtual memory and the MMU, and on-chip buses (AMBA/AXI) — from a top-rated free Princeton course, then go deeper on a real SoC and get certified. An intermediate module of the computer-architecture track.
