About the book: Embedded Microcomputer Systems: Real Time Interfacing provides an in-depth discussion of the design of real-time embedded systems using 9S12 micro-controllers. This book covers the hardware aspects of interfacing, advanced software topics (including interrupts), and a systems approach to typical embedded applications. This text stands out from other microcomputer systems books because of its balanced, in-depth treatment of both hardware and software issues important in real time embedded systems design. It features a wealth of detailed case studies that demonstrate basic concepts in the context of actual working examples of systems.
Additional content in the sections on real-time operating systems and file systems. Brand new sections on: requirements documents, MOS circuits, low power design, transmission lines, parallel programming, recursion, logic analyzers, modular programming, synchronization using semaphores, pseudo vectors, time jitter, I2C, motor electromagnet. A complete bottom-up approach to embedded systems and Unique pedagogical features, such as Common Error, Observation, and Programming Tip, that enable easy implementation of the concepts learned in problems and in labs.
