Embedded Systems: Design and Applications with the 68HC12 and HCS12 helps you to acquire fundamental microcontroller-associated programming skills using both the C programming language and assembly language. It explains the functional hardware components of a microcontroller, and helps you gain the skills needed to interface various external devices with microcontrollers. Authors Steven F. Barrett and Daniel J. Pack demonstrate the basics of system-level programming through topics such as real-time operating systems and distributed processing.

The book gives extensive tutorial information and numerous examples. It introduces structured systems design concepts, and reviews the C programming language, structured programming languages, and the 68HC12 microprocessor. It includes a detailed discussion of RTOS issues and multiprocessor systems. This book is a useful reference for practicing engineers.
