The Intel 32 Bit Microprocessors

Coverage first concentrates on real-mode assembly language programming compatible with all versions of the Intel microprocessor family, and compares and contrasts advanced family member with the foundational 8086/8088. This building block presentation is effective because the Intel family units are so similar that learning advanced versions is easy once the basics are understood.

Keeping students on the forefront of technology, this text offers a practical reference to all programming and interfacing aspects of the popular Intel microprocessor family.

Provides a comprehensive guide to all of the major microprocessor families (8, 16 and 32 bit). The hardware aspects and software implications are described, giving the reader an overall understanding of microcomputer architectures. The internal processor operation of each microprocessor device is presented, followed by descriptions of the instruction set and applications for the device. Software considerations are expanded with descriptions and examples of the main high level programming languages (BASIC, Pascal and C). The book also includes detailed descriptions of the three main operating systems (CP/M, DOS and UNIX) common to the most modern personal computers.

This tutorial builds upon an intermediate programmer's knowledge and explains how to design and develop a feature-rich operating system. With Developing Your Own 32-Bit Operating System, you'll not only get the theory behind basic operating system design, but also learn how to build your own operating system from scratch. Meet MMURTL, a full-featured, 32-bit, message-based, multitasking, real-time operating system that you can modify and use. In addition to learning how to program an operating system, you'll gain a general understanding of 32-bit programming and how other 32-bit operating systems work. Developing Your Own 32-Bit Operating System prepares you for the future in 32-bit systems programming.

This second edition of The x86 Microprocessors has been revised to present the hardware and software aspects of the subject in a logical and concise manner. Designed for an undergraduate course on the 16-bit microprocessor and Pentium processor, the book provides a detailed analysis of the x86 family architecture while laying equal emphasis on its programming and interfacing attributes. The book also covers 8051 Microcontroller and its applications completely.

A practical, hands-on book/CD-ROM guide to building real-time embedded software, for novice and experienced programmers. Offers coverage of each segment of the development cycle, from design through delivery, using code examples from real projects to illustrate core concepts. The CD-ROM contains a set of development tools based on TNT Embedded ToolSuite. For programmers and software developers familiar with C. Knowledge of C++, the Win32 API, and Java is helpful.
