Technology is constantly changing. New microcontrollers become available every year and old ones become redundant. A constant factor however is the ‘C’ programming language used to program these microcontrollers. If you would like to learn this standard language to program micros, then this book is for you!
ARM microcontrollers are available from a large number of manufacturers. They are 32-bit devices and usually contain a decent amount of memory and a large number of on-chip peripherals. Although this book concentrates on ARM microcontrollers from Atmel, the C programming language applies equally to other manufacturers’ ARM chips as well as other microcontrollers.
