Re: RE: Good books on MICROPROCESSORS and Integrated Circuits? Message #7 Posted by Ren on 13 Mar 2007, 4:35 p.m., in response to message #1 by Frank E. Travis
Going beyond "a book", I recommended a microprocessor trainer.
I think you should consider one (or more!) to gain "hands-on" experience with microprocessors. Unlike a PC, you will be entering
assembly language and actually wiring up input/output ports.
A couple of decades ago u-processor trainers were all the rage, mainly because they were 8-bit so they were simple enough to understand. Personally I have Intel SDK's (System Development Kit) for the 8080, 8085, and 8086 UPC's. I also have a couple for the Motorola 6805 family. One in particular is the Lab-Volt System 348 which appears on eBay periodically. More recently, development kits for PIC's and Atmel processors are available.
Let me know if this is what you had in mind.
Sincerely,
Ren
