Let's start from the beginning

Hi,

I am studying in computer engineering and working on my graduation
project which is about embedded systems and internet. Anyway, I want to
have more skill and knowledge on embedded system subject.

Here is the problem. We don't get detailed information in electrics and
electronics (just the basic). So I want to learn more(like electronics,
PCB design, DSP ...). Could you give me some books' names and advice me
some subjects to improve myself?

I am also open for any suggestion.


Thanks all

There is a lot to learn

I usually say
http://www.epanorama.net/links/embedded.html
and go through the trade magazines eg
http://www.edn.com/index.asp?layout=news&spacedesc=designIdeas
subscribe to the TI newsletter, etc

and check the archives here
for stuff like this
Message-ID: <1128878444.957194.312600@g49g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>

Follow up links to the manufactures application notes, this is
essential. read them well.

yalpilmisi var microchipin picnet karti alabilirsin yada kendin
yapabilirsin programin kaynak koduda var nette(+ uip) ben yaptim
calisiyor birazda gelistirdim ayricada bitirme projesi olarak kullandim
ileridede endustriyel ortamlar icin kullanabilecegim bir yerde
calismayi dusunuyorum

     Mr Onbay:

     For a handbook, I'd recommend The Art of Electronics by Hostetter
     (if I remember correctly - my copy is at work and I'm at home now).
     I'd also like to recommend Real Time Programming - Neglected Topics
     by Foster, Embedded Design for the PIC18F452 Microcontroller by
     Peatman(some colleges use this hardback book as a textbook for
     teaching "embedded systems") & The Art of Designing Embedded Systems
     by Jack Ganssle.

     I'd recommend putchasing Microchip's ICD2 and one of Microchip's
     ICD2 compatible development systems.  The Peatman book wants you to
     build your own board, but the PICDEM2+ development board is
     almost identical to what you'd be building and if you don't have
     a classroom full of other people doing the same thing, purchasing
     the PICDEM2+ will keep frustration down to a minimum.

     Personally I've found out that the PIC18F452 can be removed from the
     PICDEM2+ board and replaced with a PIC18F4431.  Some changes
     naturally should be expected in the software development, but
     nothing need be done to the hardware.

     I also recommend downloading the EAGLE schematic capture and layout
     editor and consider purchasing the full version as funds become
     available.

     Of course these thoughts are worth what you paid for 'em.

     My 2 cents,

     2Penny

I take it that Win is still in bed or he might have responded. The Art 
of Electronics is by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill. I second your 
suggestion. It is certainly a useful book.
