Embedded Systems: Introduction to Arm® Cortex™-M Microcontrollers , Fifth Edition

I bought this book to go along with Professor Valvano's wonderful course on edx.org, "UT.6.02x Embedded Systems - Shape the World". This book makes the concepts really clear for beginners and is written in a friendly style. It's probably one of the best introductions into the world of embedded systems for newcomers, students and hobbyists. Even though this is a bit pricey for Indian customers, the content makes it absolutely worthwhile. I want to than Professor Valvano for this great book and course.

This is book is good for those who need to learn basic concept about programming and circuit in the micro controller field, I mean this book starts with a simple Digital design explanation, and then you will find a summary in electronic circuit but the most important is the way that this book explains the architecture of this micro controller and also explains the best way to program, I think this book is perfect for beginner and students who expects to know more about this specific micro controller architecture.

Excellent introduction. There is a lot of sample code including Assembly and C. You will be guaranteed to learn a lot if you put in the time.

I got this for and online UTexas course presented by EdX. Book is very complete. It looks like a print on demand book so there are few errors that I found and none that were distracting. Very complete coverage of the ARM Cortex-M4 processor. The book uses the Texas Instruments Tiva LaunchPad as the specific ARM implementation discussed. Very complete and organized. Not just a retelling of the TI Data Sheet for the processor. Only detraction is the amount of time spent on introductory material like what is an embedded system, number systems, etc. This is supposed to be an EE/CS textbook. You should have seen these topics in your curriculum before you got here. Comes off as a lot of filler.

Information is there but I found it difficult to understand it. The way things are explained is sometime confusing and frustrating. Mainly language used is not clear cut. It might suits litreture but not a technical book. I bought all three volume of this series and realized that many items are repeated in the later volumes those already were I, earlier volumes. This could have been a single book easily. Such approach is condemnable as this not only costs a reader more money to buy all 3 volumes but reader also looses valuable time. I would never buy any future book from the same author.

Using newer microcontrollers in the industry is pretty tough and this book makes it easier. I don't know what I would do without this.

It's super hard to teach embedded systems to people who haven't learned all that much about compiles and computer architecture. I used this as a first year text book before I learned about compilers and comp arch and it is good as it gets. Great Teacher. too.

The book helped me understand more assembly language programming environment especially Keil had not seen before, the book also presents practical examples and teaching. I recommend the book is very good.
