Embedded C

   I can recommend the following for Embedded Programming;

   * Michael Pont's Embedded C and Patterns for Time-Triggered Embedded Systems (PTTES). They are chock full of invaluable C code (for 8051); in particular, beg, borrow or steal PTTES (free pdf available). Also checkout his other books and his company SafeTTy Systems.

   * Make: AVR programming by Elliot Williams teaches you to directly program the ATmega328P on a Arduino Uno.

   * Introduction to Embedded Systems: Using Microcontrollers and the MSP430 by Jimenez, Palomera et al. is an excellent textbook explaining each hardware aspect of an embedded system and how to program them.

   Note: All the above are for bare-metal embedded programming. For Embedded Linux on RPi, i suggest Exploring Raspberry Pi: Interfacing to the Real World with Embedded Linux by Derek Molloy.

   Michael J. Pont, author of Embedded C (2002) mentions a 1,000-page tome: Patterns for time-triggered embedded systems: Building reliable applications with the 8051 family of microcontrollers (2001).

   Turns out it is freely available, so wanted to share.

   I recently discovered a book called "Embedded C" by Michael J. Pont which is somewhat dated, but I was interested in learning more about embedded systems.

   Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could start if I have absolutely no experience in this area? And what chipset should I start with?
