ARM Microcontroller Interfacing: Hardware and Software

Learn to interface and program hardware devices in a wide range of useful applications, using ARM7 microcontrollers and the C programming language. Examples covered in full detail include a simple LED to a multi-megabyte SD card running the FAT file system.

Features of this book:

- Build prototype circuits on breadboard or Veroboard and interface to ARM microcontrollers.

- A 32-bit ARM7 microcontroller is used in interfacing and software examples.

- Interfacing principles apply to other ARM microcontrollers and other non-ARM microcontrollers as well.

- Example programs are written in the C programming language.

- Use only free or open source software.

- Download and install all programming tools from the Internet.

- Template project files are provided for easy project creation.

A chapter on more advanced ARM microcontrollers is included with an overview of some of the newest ARM microcontrollers and their features.
