C and the 8051 [Textbook Binding]

Thomas W. Schultz (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1999 | Series: C and the 8051

52112-0 Maximize 8051 software performance, reliability, and efficiency-hands-on! This is the first complete, hands-on guide to optimizing C-based applications for the 8051 microcontroller. Based on the most popular chipset in today's consumer products, it delivers great ideas and expert C code you can adapt to your own real-world applications, whatever they are. From project planning through key design tradeoffs, you'll find powerful insights that will streamline your coding and enhance your results. Coverage includes: * Making the most of multitasking and real-time operating systems * Building an operating system kernel-from scratch * Working with internal and external peripheral devices * Algorithms for enhancing performance * Two highly detailed start-to-finish projects In addition to extensive sample code, the book contains practical techniques and flowcharts for streamlining the development process, design approaches that minimize the amount of external hardware required, and much more. Most examples will work with the entire 8051 family, including the Philips 751 and 552, 517, 552, 558, and DS5000 series. Whether you're an engineer, student, or serious hobbyist, if you want to maximize the efficiency of your embedded applications, you need C and the 8051, Volume 2: Building Efficient Applications. CD-ROM INCLUDED! The accompanying CD-ROM contains Keil's assembler, C compiler, and linker in a limited version for the 8051 family, along with extensive source code-including all the source code from this book and from C and the 8051, Volume 1: Hardware, Modular Programming, and Multitasking. Also look for C and the 8051, Volume 1: Hardware, Modular Programming, and Multitasking, a great introduction to building software for embedded systems based on the 8051 family.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, despite some minor flaws..., May 26, 2000

This review is from: C and the 8051 (Textbook Binding)

Mr. Schultz emphasized using the 8051 with the powerful C language. The book demands some knowledge of the overall 8051 architecture, as well as some assembler language background. The footnotes tends to irritate the reader - this is my major complaint. Despite that, the book covers real world application, with plenty of code and schematics. Please notice that you won't find complete projects in the book, but a vast information on how to create your own systems. Real Time Kernels are explained in deep detail. I think this book is a must for someone that works with embedded systems using the 8051. It's worthy all the dollars of the tag price !
