Designing Embedded Systems with 32-Bit PIC Microcontrollers

The new generation of 32-bit PIC microcontrollers can be used to solve the increasingly complex embedded system design challenges faced by engineers today. This book teaches the basics of 32-bit C programming, including an introduction to the PIC 32-bit C compiler. It includes a full description of the architecture of 32-bit PICs and their applications, along with coverage of the relevant development and debugging tools. Through a series of fully realized example projects, Dogan Ibrahim demonstrates how engineers can harness the power of this new technology to optimize their embedded designs.

With this book you will learn:

• The advantages of 32-bit PICs

• The basics of 32-bit PIC programming

• The detail of the architecture of 32-bit PICs

• How to interpret the Microchip data sheets and draw out their key points

• Which is the best development environment to use

• How to use the built-in peripheral interface devices, including SD cards, CAN and USB interfacing

• How to use 32-bit debugging tools such as the ICD3 in-circuit debugger, mikroICD in-circuit debugger, and Real Ice emulator
