Introduction to Embedded Systems

This book has a lot of good basic information.Not a lot of depth on any topic.And very little about the TIVA Launchpad system.If looking at Tiva, the documents online are better.

Love it

Book looks old and rough around the edges even if they claim it is a new copy.

Great detail. Excellent introductory material. Recommended to students.

Product is very good, delivery is packaged very quickly and safely.Is to be further recommended.

This book is required for a course in the ECE Department at the University of Texas, and was written by a faculty member who teaches the course. While I've heard great things about his teaching ability, he isn't too skilled at writing textbooks.Looking at the table of contents, you are given the illusion of a semi-decent organizational structure. Once you get into the actual text, the illusion is exposed for what it really is. The book fails to stay on topic and goes off on tangents way too much where a reference to another chapter would suffice. There are many grammatical errors which, while not affecting the information being presented, hurt the professionalism and credibility that a textbook must strive to maintain.In the end, the book serves best as a reference for programming the Freescale 9S12 microcontroller and not as a learning tool, which I think is what it was intended for. Since this is the first edition, hopefully these problems will be acknowledged and corrected.
