Digital Design and Computer Architecture
Provides practical examples of how to interface with peripherals using RS232, SPI, motor control, interrupts, wireless, and analog-to-digital conversion. This book covers the fundamentals of digital logic design and reinforces logic concepts through the design of a MIPS microprocessor.

What Hacker News says
- I re-took Computer Architecture recently, and we used their earlier book "Digital Design and Computer Architecture: ARM edition", and it was also excellent.
- You can google for "From nand to tetris" or get the book Digital Design and Computer Architecture by Harris to get the idea of how these machines work.
- I find Digital Design and Computer Architecture (RISC-V edition) by Harris & Harris very nice for self study.
- I would really recommend Digital Design and Computer Architecture, I’ve got the ARM edition. I believe it covers everything OP mentioned, and I know it covers FSMs. It’s a great read if you want the tools to design your own architectures.
- And on a semi-related note, Patterson and Hennessy's "Computer Organization and Design (RISC-V Edition)" is an updated classic introduction to computer architecture (and its sequel is legendary.) I also recently discovered Harris and Harris' Digital Design and Computer Architecture (RISC-V Edition), and its follow-on lab courses, RVfpga and RVSoC, which cover implementation on an FPGA board and/or simulator.
- I can also recommend the Digital Design and Computer Architecture lectures from ETH Zürich if you're trying to understand computers at a lower level:
