    Salient Features

    • A copy of the Keil hardware simulator for the 8051 microcontroller is included on the CD, so that readers can try out all of the examples in the book -
    • All of the code is written entirely in C: no knowledge of assembly language is needed.
    • Programmers with experience of C, C++ or Java on a desktop PC or workstation will therefore be able to get 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.
    • The book covers the microcontroller serial interface, widely used for debugging embedded systems, as well as for system maintenance and for data acquisition applications.
    • The book presents a complete embedded operating system which uses less than 1% of the available processor power in an 8-bit processor. All source code for the OS is provided in the book.
