puter systems literally surround us: they're in our cell phones, PDAs, cars, TVs,
refrigerators, heating systems, and more. In fact, embedded systems are one of the most rapidly
growing segments of puter industry today.
Along with the growing list of devices for which puter systems are appropriate,
interest is growing among programmers, hobbyists, and engineers of all types in how to design
and build devices of their own. Furthermore, the knowledge offered by this book into the
fundamentals of puter systems can benefit anyone who has to evaluate and apply the
systems.
The second edition of Designing Embedded Hardware has been updated to include information
on the latest generation of processors and microcontrollers, including the new MAXQ processor.
If you're new to this and don't know what a MAXQ is, don't worry--the book spells out the
basics of embedded design for beginners while providing material useful for advanced systems
designers.
Designing Embedded Hardware steers a course between those books dedicated to writing code
for particular microprocessors, and those that stress the philosophy of embedded system design
without providing any practical information. Having designed 40 puter systems of
his own, author John Catsoulis brings a wealth of real-world experience to show readers how to
design and create entirely new embedded devices puterized gadgets, as well as how to
customize and extend off-the-shelf systems.
Loaded with real examples, this book also provides a roadmap to the pitfalls and traps to avoid.
Designing Embedded Hardware includes:
The theory and practice of embedded systems
Understanding schematics and data sheets
Powering an embedded system
Producing and debugging a
