The text provides a concise and complete introduction to the assembly language programming before progressing to ...a review of C language syntax that helps with programming the AVR microcontroller. Emphasis is placed on a wide variety of peripheral functions useful in embedded system design, including parallel I/O port, interrupts and resets, I/O devices such as DIP switches, LEDs, seven-segment display, LCD, keypad, stepper motor, timer functions and their applications, serial interfaces including USART, SPI, and I2C, A/D and D/A, and the controller area network (CAN). Vivid examples demonstrate the applications of each peripheral function, which are programmed using both the assembly and C languages.
