Description
Book Synopsis'Designing Embedded Hardware' steers a course between those books dedicated to writing code for particular microprocessors, and those that stress the philosophy of embedded system design without providing any practical information. With real examples, the book also provides a roadmap to the pitfalls and traps to avoid.
