Embedded System Design with Arm Cortex-M Microcontrollers - by Cem Ünsalan & Hüseyin Deniz Gürhan & Mehmet Erkin Yücel (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This textbook introduces basic and advanced embedded system topics through Arm Cortex M microcontrollers, covering programmable microcontroller usage starting from basic to advanced concepts using the STMicroelectronics Discovery development board. Designed for use in upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses on microcontrollers, microprocessor systems, and embedded systems, the book explores fundamental and advanced topics, real-time operating systems via FreeRTOS and Mbed OS, and then offers a solid grounding in digital signal processing, digital control, and digital image processing concepts -- with emphasis placed on the usage of a microcontroller for these advanced topics. The book uses C language, "the" programming language for microcontrollers, C++ language, and MicroPython, which allows Python language usage on a microcontroller. Sample codes and course slides are available for readers and instructors, and a solutions manual is available to instructors. The book will also be an ideal reference for practicing engineers and electronics hobbyists who wish to become familiar with basic and advanced microcontroller concepts.
