C Programming for Embedded Microcontrollers

Smith, Warwick A. ● 2009

The C Programming Language Technology is constantly changing. New microcontrollers become available every year and old ones become redundant. The one thing that has stayed the same is the C programming language used to program these microcontrollers. If you would like to learn this standard language to program microcontrollers, then this book is for you!

ARM Microcontrollers ARM microcontrollers are available from a large number of manufacturers. They are 32-bit microcontrollers and usually contain a decent amount of memory and a large number of on-chip peripherals. Although this book concentrates on ARM microcontrollers from Atmel, the C programming language applies equally to other manufacturer's ARMs as well as other microcontrollers.

Features of this book:

  • - Use only free or open source software.
  • - Learn how to download, set up and use free C programming tools
  • - Start learning the C language to write simple PC programs before tackling embedded programming - no need to buy an embedded system right away!
  • - Start learning to program from the very first chapter with simple programs and slowly build from there.
  • - No programming experience is necessary!
  • - Learn by doing - type and run the example programs and exercises.
  • - Sample programs and exercises can be downloaded from the Internet.
  • - A fun way to learn the C programming language.
  • - Ideal for electronic hobbyists, students and engineers wanting to learn the C programming language in an embedded environment on ARM microcontrollers.

    • Why Read This Book

    You will learn the C language topics that matter for low-level firmware—pointers, volatile, bitwise operations, memory-mapped I/O, interrupts and peripheral access—presented with concrete microcontroller examples. The book is focused on applied embedded development (Atmel/ARM examples), so you get practical code patterns and exercises you can adapt to modern ARM toolchains and devices.

    Who Will Benefit

    Best for students, hobbyists or early-career embedded engineers who want a focused, example-driven introduction to embedded C and low-level firmware on ARM/Atmel microcontrollers.
