Software and Hardware Engineering

Software and Hardware Engineering is designed for courses in the architectiure and design o microprocessors, using Freescales's (formerly Motorola) star processor, the M68HC(S)12, as its core example. This text can be used for the microcontrollers/microprocessors/microcomputers course, taught in Electrical and Computer engineering departments, usually dovetailing with the computer architecture course. Students taking this course will have already taken a programming course and introductory logic design. In this second edition, more of the core principles of microcontroller theory beyond the specifics of HC12 implementation, are integrated into the text. the new edition is updates to cover changes in the technology, and to incorporate Metro Werks Code Warrior Integrated Development Environment, a development tool from Freescale.
