Characteristics of This Book (1) General knowledge and relevant knowledge are well-balanced. From the standpoint of application, this book explains the general principles of the embedded system’s “general knowledge” in a concise but logically lucid way; at the same time, it also pays attention to the coherence between the general knowledge and relevant knowledge about chips. So with the understanding of general principles, the reader can better understand chip application design, which in turn contributes to the understanding of the former. (2) Both hardware and software design are a concern. An embedded system is the efficient integration of hardware and software. So its design should be a design with coordinated, rather than completely separated, hardware and software, like that of a general computer. It is especially true for intellectual embedded application in electronic systems that embedded software cannot be developed well without considering the hardware, and vice versa. (3) Component-based packages of low level drivers are provided. Every module in the book has been furnished with a driver program (in line with the basic principles of the embedded software project and the requirement of a component-based package), detailed, with standard notes and an interface. The supply of low-level driver components for practical application facilitates transplantation and reusability, which saves the reader time for developing his project. (4) Advisable test examples are supplied. Every source program listed in the book has been tested. All test cases are reserved in this book’s CD to free the reader from the trouble caused by design fault or the innate mistake of these example routines, and to facilitate the reader’s confirmation and comprehension. (5) The CD provides all low-level drivers’ component package procedure, texts and test cases. When used, it also contains a chip reference manual, installation and usage about the writing device, tool software (for example, development environment, program writing and reading software, serial ports adjusting tools, USB device, as well as Ethernet tools), related hardware schematic, other technical information, etc. (6) Hardware evaluation, writing adjusting device, and software tools that can solely conduct program writing and reading are supplied to facilitate the reader to practice and apply. Contents There are altogether 16 chapters in this book. The first chapter is an introduction to knowledge system, learning mistakes and learning suggestions on embedded systems. The second and the third chapter describes the characteristics of the ColdFire MCU family, gives the pin function of MCF52233 and the minimum system circuit as well as the first sample program and ColdFire project system to complete the introduction to the first ColdFire project. Chapters 4-10 deal separately with UART, Keyboard,LED and LCD, A/D, Timer,QSPI, I2C and online programming of Flash Memory. And from the eleventh chapter to the fifteenth chapter, information concerning CAN Bus of MCF52235, Ethernet modeling on MCF52233, other modules of MCF52233, USB 2.0 programming of MCF52233, the transplantation and application of μC/OS-Ⅱin ColdFire are provided. The last chapter gives an account of developing methods of embedded systems based on hardware component. Appendix A lists the chip packaging of the ColdFire MCU family used in this book.

Note:    We are currently a 3 completed projects.   At this point we are going to stop and rethink the ideas for future projects.   Feel free to add comments below for project suggestions!   Any ideas for new stuff that currently aren't out in the wild with other platforms would be very helpful! Introduction HIT projects are a new initiative to help improve your embedded systems chops.  The target audience spans STEM student in high school,  DIY enthusiasts, hackers, Makers,  universities and seasoned embedded developers.    Each project makes use open hardware, software and instructional videos to supply the audience all they need to put together a cool project and expose them to a new topic space. Each HIT project will be comprised of the following A low cost Freescale Development Board (such as the FRDM series) A FRDM Shield.  Many cases,  there will be a shield that the participant can assemble themselves with parts procured from common distributors.  Raw PCBs will be available at low cost All Hardware will open.  Raw design files (Schematics, BOM. Gerbers, notes) will be supplied so the participant can fabricate PCBs themselves. All software will be opensource and available on the project packages and/or Google Code or GitHub The projects will try to simulate the participant by mapping code to the senses..... Play sounds,  blinking LEDs, starting warp drives.  After all it is nice to see a microcontroller do something.  A DMA unit  may be a really cool piece of hardware but it would be quite boring if we never used it to do something cool ! The goal is to have cool projects that will capture your interest,  develop new skills while not breaking the bank.    While efforts will be made to keeps costs minimum,  other factors such as part availability, ease of use, cool factor also come into play! Each project will list a set of skills that you will develop.  This will included both microcontroller hardware  and high level concepts (I2S modules, Digital Signal Processing, etc.).    When you complete a project,  you will have some good experience with something new.  Efforts will be made to have the project span a variety of hardware interfaces, design patterns and embedded systems topics.  Most importantly, each project will be cool in its own way! Project Listing and Roadmap Here you will find the current project list , status and roadmap.  Note that items on the roadmap are subject to change Project #1: Monkey Jam!
