Although the example designed are specific for the TM4C123, it will be possible to use these books for other ARM derivatives..
Most of the topics can be run on any of these microcontrollers.
The book will cover Embedded systems for ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers with specific details on the TM4C123, and MSP432E4.
You will also find data sheets and Excel spreadsheets relevant to the material in this book.
Posted here are Keil uVision and Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio projects for each of the example programs in the book.
There is a web site accompanying this book http: //users.ece.utexas.edu/ valvano/arm.
For Volume 2 refer to the EE445L labs, and for Volume 3, look at the lab assignments for EE445M/EE380L.6.
Specifically for this volume, look at the lab assignments for EE319K.
More detailed lab descriptions are available on the web.
Each chapter has suggested lab assignments.
The most important learning experiences in a class like this are of course the laboratories.
The book includes an index and a glossary so that information can be searched.
Simple homework, with answers to the odd questions on the web, provides more detailed learning opportunities.
Checkpoints, with answers in the back, are short easy to answer questions providing immediate feedback while reading.
There are multiple structural components that assist learning.
These examples illustrate the process of design.
Second, the book presents many detailed design examples.
First, it begins with basic fundamentals, which allows the reader to solve new problems with new technology.
It will not include an exhaustive recapitulation of the information in data sheets.
This book employs many approaches to learning.
Specific topics include microcontrollers, fixed-point numbers, the design of software in assembly language and C, elementary data structures, programming input/output including interrupts, analog to digital conversion, digital to analog conversion.
This book is an Introduction to Embedded systems.
A system is comprised of components and interfaces connected together for a common purpose.
An Embedded system is a system that performs a specific task and has a computer Embedded inside.
This first book is an introductory book that could be used at the college level with little or no prerequisites.
The third volume could also be used for professionals wishing to design or deploy a real-time operating system onto an ARM platform.
The third volume, Embedded Systems: Real-Time Operating Systems for ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers, is an advanced book focusing on operating systems, high-speed interfacing, control systems, and robotics.
There are MSP432 versions of the first two volumes.
The second volume, Embedded Systems: Real-Time Interfacing to ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers, focuses on hardware/software interfacing and the design of Embedded systems.
This first volume is an Introduction to computers and interfacing focusing on assembly language and C programming.
This fifth edition focuses on the LaunchPads based on the TM4C123, TM4C1294, and MSP432E4 microcontrollers.
This book, now in its fifth edition, is the first in a series of three books that teach the fundamentals of Embedded systems as applied to the ARM Cortex-M family of microcontrollers.
The original ISBN was generated in 2012, but if you purchase the book new from CreateSpace or Amazon you will get the new version, which was uploaded January 2017.
Valvano This book is self-published and is printed on demand.
