What are some good books/resources on overall System-On-Chip Design?

There is a surprising paucity of material on SoC design which are comprehensive and complete. Application-specific tailored features, Cost, Performance, Area, Power etc. all go into SoC design and yet there does not seem to be a comprehensive resource bringing everything together. Even wikipedia isn't detailed enough - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip

I know of only two decent books viz. Computer System Design: System-on-Chip by Michael Flynn and Wayne Luk (this is pretty good) and the older ARM System-on-Chip Architecture by Steve Furber.

There's also Modern System-on-Chip Design on Arm textbook by David J. Greaves and it's available as a free download [1].

Nice; thanks for the pointer.

Searched Amazon for other books on SoC design and found a series of books by Dr. Veena S. Chakravarthi which seem quite comprehensive - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Veena+S.+Chakravarthi&i=stripbook...
