    FEATURES

    • Provides extensive coverage on using the Motorola M68HC11EVB trainers with an IBM PC compatible computer ― however, does not require use of this equipment.
    • Thoroughly discusses the internal input/output hardware of the 68HC11 ― with assembly language examples provided to demonstrate each device.
    • Emphasizes understanding of fundamental computer operation.
      • Includes many short examples with graphics to illustrate the internal registers and their uses
    • Contains discussions and examplesnot just listsof machine instructions and addressing modes.
      • Uses Motorola notation and terminology so the user can easily reference Motorola manuals.
    • Features many assembly language examples that show the uses of instructions and hardware devices.
      • Listings avoid statements unique to a particular assembler.
    • Devotes an entire chapter to good programming approaches and software design.
      • Examples of bad programming practice are discussed.
      • Uses structured programming throughout.
    • Covers subroutines in great depth and with excellent examples.
    * Discusses reentrancy and concurrency problems and their solutions. * Includes the design of a complete real-time system.
