Software and Hardware Engineering gives a detailed overview of software and hardware engineering in microcontroller applications, including programming examples for all programmable features of the Freescale M68HCS12 microcontroller. The author provides many application examples, everything from a remote control, to a computer, and even a car; this helps students understand what is behind today's microcontroller applications and helps the students design their own real-world applications. This new edition introduces students to structured program design, and provides all program examples in program design form; it gives hints and best practices for debugging programs; and there is also a chapter on C programming features that are needed for embedded systems, with many C programming examples.
