| Understanding Embedded Systems book |

Has anybody got to recommend a good Embedded Systems book.
I am not new in embedded stuff, but I need a deeper understanding of how embedded systems work(NOT for the beginner, but advanced)

Search the archives of Embedded Systems Programming magazine. www.embedded.com
Get a free subscription. That is the most up-to-date info than buying a book. A lot of the embedded systems books out there are overkill for 8-bit micro programming, since they talk about RTOSes, multitasking, etc., things you rarely see on low-end micro apps.
And if you want to know about A/D, interrupts, etc., you're better off reading app notes from Microchip than reading general info in a book. |

"an introduction to the design of small-scale embedded systems" by Tim Wilmshurst is about the best there is IMHO .
Keep well,

| I quite like "Embedded C Programming and the Microchip PIC" by Barnett, Cox & O'Cull. It's a pretty good mix of introductory stuff, and quite a bit of in-depth things too. The interrupt-driven rs-232 code example was worth the price (to me, anyway!) It also has a really good explanation of the timers, with lots of possible examples. |

I agree with you on that book, i shouldn't have overlooked it. It's even geared towards the CCS compiler and PIC. So if it's embedded concepts, C, and the PIC you are interested in, this book best falls in that niche. |
