Embedded Systems Design using the MSP430FR2355 LaunchPad™ 1st ed. 2020 Edition

This textbook for courses in Embedded Systems introduces students to necessary concepts, through a hands-on approach.

LEARN BY EXAMPLE - 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 - 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 LaunchPad^TM Development Kit plugged in so that each example can be coded and run as they learn.

LEARN BOTH ASSEMBLY AND C - 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 "make things work".

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 "do" after its completion. The concept checks and exercise problems provide a rich set of assessment tools to measure student performance on each outcome.

這本針對嵌入式系統課程的教科書，以實作為主的方式介紹學生必要的概念。

透過範例學習 - 本書旨在以學習者熟悉的方式教授材料，透過範例。每個概念都有多個程式編碼範例來提供讀者逐步解釋電腦執行的步驟和原因。

透過實作學習 - 本書以德州儀器的MSP430微控制器為目標。這個平台是一個廣受歡迎且低成本的嵌入式系統，用於說明書中的每個概念。本書設計給讀者在電腦上插入MSP430FR2355 LaunchPadTM開發套件，以便在學習過程中編寫和執行每個範例。

同時學習組合語言和C語言 - 本書使用組合語言教授嵌入式電腦的基本操作，以便能夠從低層次探索電腦操作。一旦引入更複雜的系統（例如計時器、類比數位轉換器和串行介面），本書轉向使用C語言。轉向C語言可以讓學習者將低層次硬體的操作抽象化，並專注於理解如何使事物運作。

基於良好的教學法 - 本書以學習成果和評估為核心設計。每個章節都涵蓋一個特定的學習成果，學生在完成後應該能夠「做」到。概念檢查和練習問題提供了豐富的評估工具，以衡量學生在每個成果上的表現。
