Where can I find general information about embedded programing?

[Braulio_Cespede]

Hello everyone, I new at programming in Freescale platform.

So, My problem is, where to begin?

Can someone help me please?

with things like "How to create a File.C and Header.h?"

and Include in processor Expert.

I'll appreciate so much.

Note: I'm try to work with the MC9S08QE16.

Hi,

I discovered a book, "Embedded Systems Interfacing for Engineers using the Freescale HCS08 Microcontroller", that helped me a lot.  The book is actually two books.  Book one focuses on Assembly language programming, and book two focuses on digital and analog hardware interfacing.  This is a hands on type of book with example code to get you going.  This book is by Douglas Summerville.

If you are a "C" programer then the book, "HCS08 Unleashed" by Fabio Pereira may be a good book for you.

I found the  books on Amazon.com.  I prefer Assembler so I found the first book the most helpful.

That's the first thing, I had done. What I'm really looking for (The documentation attached was really helpful), is the understand of the components, or went use a interrupt. In other word do something and know what I'm doing that. For example: set a I2C component and make it works.

Hello,

What's probably a good idea when writing a "hello world" example, whether it's to flash a LED or send RS232 is to start small. Don't try implementing everything in one go and expecting it to work! Implement in small steps and understand what you have written. With reference to I2C start by reading the relevant section in the MC9S08QE16 reference manual before you start writing any code. If you are new to I2C then the internet is your friend to understand how it works and why etc.

If you (and I'm not sure) are very new to programming then it's a bit of a learning curve and through projects and experiments you'll gain the experience of when to use interrupts versus polling, for example.

Hope this helps you a little :-)

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate your help.

I'm stater my "Adventure" as a developer, but I don't know where to begin.

The first program a beginner usually writes in any language is called "Hello World" which is a simple program that prints this message.

exactly, hello world sample is always good to beginner.
