Features: This book is a specialized work on online development methods for microcontrollers and serves as the textbook for Tsinghua University's graduate-level premium course "Embedded Real-Time Systems and Microcontroller Applications." It introduces how to start with the design of a small hardware system to establish the basic hardware conditions for developing microcontroller application systems without using simulators or other microcontroller development tools. It explains how to write microcontroller monitoring programs to create a basic environment for debugging microcontroller application software, how to write application programs using C language, and how to utilize the educational version of commercial software CodeWarrior or the free software GCC cross-C compiler under Linux to port the embedded real-time multitasking operating system μC/OS-II to microcontrollers, thereby achieving a development environment based on RTOS. Taking the 16-bit microcontroller MC9S12 as an example, the book provides source code for the monitoring program and also offers device driver programs for various I/O modules of the microcontroller. This online development method is equally applicable to 8-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers. The accompanying CD-ROM includes free software development tools and a wealth of original materials. This book serves as a guide for cultivating IT professionals and also provides reference material for engineering technicians developing microcontroller application systems.
