Embedded C Programming and the Atmel AVR (With CD) 1st Edition  (English, Paperback, Sarah Cox, Richard H. Barnett)

Enter the world of embedded programming and microcontroller applications! One of the only books available today that uses the increasingly popular and cost-effective Atmel AVR embedded controller as the platform and application for learning. Embedded C Programming and the Atmel AVR is the perfect choice for novices. Featuring a host of fully-functional example applications, this highly innovative book enables users to adopt a "learn by doing" approach as they develop the knowledge and skills needed to achieve proficiency.

Following an introduction to Atmel AVR RISC processors, readers are launched immediately into an embedded C language tutorial. Here, they'll experiment with variables and constants, operators and expressions, control statements, pointers and arrays, memory types, preprocessor directives, real-time methods, and more! In addition to a comprehensive library functions reference, an entire chapter on the CodeVision AVR C Compiler provides clear, step-by-step instruction in IDE installation and operation, mixing Assembler with C, and using the Code Wizard Code Generator. Use of peripherals - such as keypads, LCD displays, and other common embedded microcontroller-related devices - is also explored fully in this all-inclusive, state-of-the-art programmer's how-to and reference manual.

Key Features

• Emphasis is placed on embedded systems programming, with numerous examples to lead readers to mastery of both beginning and advanced techniques.
• A back of book CD contains example programs from the text plus CodeVision AVR IDE and C Compiler evaluation versions, providing users with everything they need to get started.
• Written exercises in every section underscores key concepts while offering additional opportunities to apply embedded-application programming techniques
