Embedded Microprocessor Systems Real World Design [Paperback]

The less-experienced engineer will be able to apply Ball's advice to everyday projects and challenges immediately with amazing results. In this new edition, the author has expanded the section on debug to include avoiding common hardware, software and interrupt problems. Other new features include an expanded section on system integration and debug to address the capabilities of more recent emulators and debuggers, a section about combination microcontroller/PLD devices, and expanded information on industry standard embedded platforms.

• Covers all 'species' of embedded system chips rather than specific hardware
• Learn how to cope with 'real world' problems
• Design embedded systems products that are reliable and work in real applications

The new edition of Embedded Microprocessor Systems provides an introduction to the design of embedded microprocessor systems, from the initial concept through debugging the final result. Now included are brand new material on DMA, interrupts and an emphasis throughout on the real-time nature of embedded systems. Unlike many books on the market, Embedded Microprocessor Systems is not limited to describing any specific processor family, but covers the operation of and interfaces to several types of prlce
