Product DescriptionThis new book provides a total solution for learning and teaching embedded system design based on the Motorola HCS12/9S12 microcontroller. Readers will learn step-by-step how to program the HCS12 using both assembly and C languages, as well as how to use such development tools as asmIDE, MiniIDE, GNU C, and EGNU IDE. Supportive examples clearly illustrate all applications of the HCS12 peripheral functions, including parallel port, timer functions, PWM, UART port, SPI, I2C, CAN, on-chip flash and EEPROM programming, external memory expansion, and more. A back-of-book CD contains the source code for all examples in the book, several groups of reusable utility functions, and complimentary freeware development tools for improved learning.

Rating: - The book freescale should have wrote
Fantastic reference.
Great examples in asm and "C".
Good explainations.
A must have if you are using this family of MCU's.
Covers tools as well.
Rating: - Pretty good for a rank novice
Let me state that I'm a rank novice to microcontroller programming and embedded systems. This book seemed quite comprehensive, going as far as recommending demo boards and compilers to run the examples in. There were a few errors (i.e. Chapter 14, table 1 and figure 1 are the same) but the code all seemed to compile and run ok and the CD provided all of the source code for both assembly and C. All in all this book covered pretty much everything I wanted it to and would recommend it for any student ... Read More
Rating: - Best book on the market for the HCS12
I'm an Electrical Enigineering student and do a lot of work with the Freescale MC9S12 family of 16-bit microcontrollers. After using just about every other book on the market for the HC(S)12 family, I can honestly say that this one is the best - by far. It's definitely the only one you will need on your desk if you work with these chips. The thing that makes it so useful is the wealth of code included in the text - both in assembly and C. Most books on the topic just include assembly, which is a fine ... Read More
