      abstract = {This textbook for courses in Embedded Systems introduces  students to necessary concepts, through a hands-on  approach. LEARN BY EXAMPLE ⁰́₃ This book is designed to  teach the material the way it is learned, through example.  Every concept is supported by numerous programming examples  that provide the reader with a step-by-step explanation for  how and why the computer is doing what it is doing. LEARN  BY DOING ⁰́₃ This book targets the Texas Instruments MSP430  microcontroller. This platform is a widely popular,  low-cost embedded system that is used to illustrate each  concept in the book. The book is designed for a reader that  is at their computer with an MSP430FR2355 LaunchPadTM  Development Kit plugged in so that each example can be  coded and run as they learn. LEARN BOTH ASSEMBLY AND C ⁰́₃  The book teaches the basic operation of an embedded  computer using assembly language so that the computer  operation can be explored at a low-level. Once more  complicated systems are introduced (i.e., timers,  analog-to-digital converters, and serial interfaces), the  book moves into the C programming language. Moving to C  allows the learner to abstract the operation of the  lower-level hardware and focus on understanding how to  ⁰́₋make things work⁰́₊. BASED ON SOUND PEDAGOGY - This book  is designed with learning outcomes and assessment at its  core. Each section addresses a specific learning outcome  that the student should be able to ⁰́₋do⁰́₊ after its  completion. The concept checks and exercise problems  provide a rich set of assessment tools to measure student  performance on each outcome. Written the way the material  is taught, enabling a bottoms-up approach to learning which  culminates with a high-level of learning, with a solid  foundation; Emphasizes examples from which students can  learn: contains program examples that can be run for nearly  every section in the book; Targets a widely popular  embedded computer, the Texas Instruments MSP430FR2355;  Covers both assembly language and C language programming of  the MSP430, with examples that are meant to be coded and  run on an MSP430FR2355 LaunchPadTM Development Kit  directly; Describes specific learning outcomes for each  activity, so that the reader knows why they are doing what  they are doing, along with abundant assessment tools,  including concept checks and exercises.},
