EE191 - Embedded Systems Independent Study Spring 2006, Max Klein

Lecutres Notes

• Overview, Number Bases, and Bit Masking (4/10)
• Microcontroller Overview, Real Time Systems, and Interrupts (4/12, 4/17)
• Timers, RS-232, and SPI (4/19, 4/24, Homework from here due 5/1)
• Compact Flash (4/24)

Additional Materials

• Essential C Programming
• Atmel AtMega128 Datasheet
• HD44780-based LCD Information (includes many examples)
• OrCAD Tutorials (discovered by Vikram)
  • Using Capture (Schematic)
  • Prep for Layout Plus (PCB Layout)
  • Using Layout Plus (PCB Layout)

Sample Schematics

• Flake (WARNING: there is one mistake on the CF interface. One pin should be tied to ground and NOT through a pull-up resistor to VCC. To be updated!)

Sample Code

• Character LCD Control on AVR
• Flake: Compact Flash, ADC, TWI, and SPI on AVR
