Embedded Hardware: Know It All (Newnes Know It All) Reviews
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: Great book for the professional, good book for hobbyist, By This review is from: Embedded Hardware: Know It All (Newnes Know It All) (Paperback) I purchased Embedded Hardware because I'm a computer science student and hobbyist who wants to understand more of this stuff. The first couple chapters which covered the basics were well written and was a refreshing review of the associated topics. Most of the embedded hardware discussed was embedded processors, the busses in an embedded system, and the different memory types used. These topics take up about 1/3 of the book. The coverage is very complete. Another huge part of the book talks very in depth about RS-232. It starts with a history lesson, then talks about the standards, and then proceeds to show you how to write your own UART code in Basic, C, and assembly. While this is one topic I'm very comfortable with, I found a lot of the discussion to be long, drawn out, and just plain overkill. The same section covers I2C and SPI and those were done properly. YMMV here. The book has chapters on interfacing to sensors and...

Worth the buy if you wanted to learn how to get working with PIC. 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful: If you are a real engineer "Dont", By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Embedded Hardware: Know It All (Newnes Know It All) (Paperback) Had I picked this book up from a shelf in a bookstore, I would have flipped through it and put it back. It is full of racked together bits and pieces of things easily found on the net. It isn't really put together in a useful way. I had mistakenly thought it might be a good technical and philosophical guide to embedded layout, organization and basic design ideas. Practical ideas - good ones and bad ones. Its far to basic and just lists stolen information from all over. In a nut shell don't waste your money..... |
