Embedded C

Description

For people who are about to write their first embedded program - or have been struggling to learn about this important area - this book will save weeks of effort.

FEATURES:

The book and CD-ROM include the following key features:

* The Keil hardware simulator for the popular 8051 microcontroller is on the CD-ROM so that readers can try out examples from the book - and create new ones - without requiring additional hardware.
* All code is written in C, so no assembly language is required. industry-standard C compiler from Keil software is included on the CD-ROM, along with copies of code examples from the book to get you up and running very quickly.
* Key techniques required in all embedded systems are covered in detail, including the control of port pins and the reading of switches.

A complete embedded operating system is presented, with full source code on the CD-ROM.
