Microcomputer Architecture: Low-level Programming Methods & Applications of the M68HC908GP32

Through a long term research in education [01-09], the authors incorporate in this book all the information needed for an effective microcontroller-based tutoring system, which is particularly suitable for readers with insufficient background on hardware design issues. In addition, the book addresses a pedagogy that draws readers' attention to the parallelism between assembly-level programming for microcontrollers and higher-level programming (a particularly helpful guide for those who might have previous experience on high-level programming). The book provides a comprehensive guide on the subject of microcomputer architecture teaching and learning and it is designed for a variety of engineering disciplines, such as Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Automation Engineering, Computer Engineering, and all engineering disciplines that have specific requirements for the design and development of microcontroller-based applications. Apart from the academic community, the book is designed to support self-study training, appropriate for professional engineers. Additional material of the book is available for educators and learners on the website: http://electronics.physics.auth.gr/microcon/ [01] D. E. Bolanakis, E. Glavas, G. A. Evangelakis, K. T.
