Microcomputer Engineering (2nd Edition)

Focuses on microcomputers and microprocessors used as control devices (e.g., the Motorola 68HC11). Contains a complete development of a working operating system suitable for embedded applications. Thoroughly discusses the internal input/output hardware of the 68HC11 with assembly language examples provided to demonstrate each device. Devotes an entire chapter to good programming approaches and software design. Covers subroutines in great depth and with excellent examples. Features extensive new material on real-time embedded systems. This book includes many short examples with graphics to illustrate the internal registers and their uses. Appropriate for computer engineers and product engineers dealing with embedded computers.

This book focuses on microcomputers and microprocessors used as control devices (e.g., the Motorola 68HC11). Extensive material on using the Motorola M6HC11EVB and M68HC11EBU Trainers.
