Microcontroller Programming and Interfacing: Texas Instruments MSP430

This book provides a thorough introduction to the Texas Instruments MPS430 microcontroller. The MPS430 is a 16-bit reduced instruction set (RISC) processor that features ultra low power consumption and integrated digital and analog hardware. Variants of the MPS430 microcontroller have been in production since 1993. This provides for a host of MPS430 products including evaluation boards, compilers, and documentation. A thorough introduction to the MPS430 line of microcontrollers, programming techniques, and interface concepts is provided along with considerable tutorial information with many illustrated examples. Each chapter provides laboratory exercises to apply what has been presented in the chapter. The book is intended for an upper level undergraduate course in microcontrollers or mechatronics but may also be used as a reference for capstone design projects. Also, practicing engineers already familiar with another microcontroller, who require a quick tutorial on the MSP430, will find this book very useful.

Embedded Systems: Real-Time Interfacing to the Arm® Cortex™-M3

This book is the second in a series of three books that teach the fundamentals of embedded systems as applied to the ARM® Cortex™-M3. The three books are primarily written for undergraduate electrical and computer engineering students. They could also be used for professionals learning the Arm platform. The book will cover embedded systems for the Arm® Cortex™-M3 with specific details on the LM3S811, LM3S1968 and LM3S8962. Although the solutions are specific for the Stellaris LM3S, it will be possible to use this book for other Arm derivatives. It is an advanced book focusing on operating systems, high-speed interfacing, control systems, and robotics. An embedded system is a system that performs a specific task and has a computer embedded inside. There are multiple structural components that assist learning. Checkpoints, and simple homework with answers in the back provide more detailed learning opportunities. Each chapter has suggested lab assignments.
