Appropriate for undergraduate and beginning graduate level courses on embedded systems or microprocessor based systems design in computer engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. The basic structure, operation, and design of embedded systems is presented in a stepwise fashion. A balanced treatment of both hardware and software is provided. The Intel 80C188EB microprocessor is used as the instructional example. Hardware is covered starting from the component level. Software development focuses on assembly language. The only background required is an introductory course in digital systems design.

A world list of books in the English language.

This is the first book that deals with the programming and interfacing aspects of the embedded microprocessor family that has gained wide application in many areas of electronics, communications, and control systems. The book uses the Microsoft Macro assembler program (MASM) that develops many example programming applications using not only the 80186/80188 and 80386EX, but all the Intel family members from the 80486 through the Pentium Pro processor and contains hundreds of applications that can be executed on the personal computer.
