Programmable Microcontrollers: Applications on the Mspm0 Launchpad

A detailed introduction to embedded designing and programming using the most up-to-date and market-dominant embedded application system

Microcontrollers are everywhere. These small, self-contained computers are embedded in and control everything from traffic lights, car alarms, and TV remote controls to medical devices, toys, and microwave ovens.

Programmable Microcontrollers provides the fundamentals on working with Texas Instruments' MSPM0 LaunchPad. The MSPM0 line of ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontrollers is used in a large and growing number of applications where efficient data processing and enhanced low-power operation are critical. Explaining the MSPM0's working principles through practical applications, illustrated examples, and DIY projects, the expert guide provides the fundamentals required to program microcontrollers.

Programmable Microcontrollers offers critical information on the dominating C and assembly language programming for this new microcontroller family of products. It introduces Code Composer Studio (CCS) Theia and its novel features, along with SYSCONFIG application usage. The book also explores fundamental assembly usage, integration and practical use of real-time operating systems (RTOS), and implementation of bootloader mechanisms. Moreover, it covers the new timer, clock tree, and power management features, offering practical guidance for developers.
