thanks for ur response
can i use some board which can be interfaced to comp.in this case will i have to buy the programmer
 

For programming,Have a look to this book C programming for Embedded Systems.Write simple code and simulate it!!It will help a lot!!!!!
 
you should know about c & a through understanding of 8051.
you can refer m.a.mazdi book for 8051. and you can practice the programs using KEIL free version available in ARM website.
 
if you have not fixed on a particular processor as yet have a look at Microchip's microstick
**broken link removed**

it has an onboard USB programmer / debugger and has a header to enable one to plug it into your own breadboard
compiler etc is free for academic use
 
Microstick for dsPIC33F and PIC24H Development Board[/url]

i dont agree with you.. just because you get something free you are suggesting a very big controller for a learner... let him learn the alphabets and then learn the grammer....

dspic is too much for a begineer....

hey hi angy?? which book for C???

As suggested get a copy of mazidi and start to learn.... if you dont know C concepts then get C book of yeshwanth kanetkar, or balaguruswamy and start..

There will be no specific embedded C textbook as this is compiler specific.... you may get a generic textbook but you have to learn it....
 
I don't see any point students learning out of date technologies. The PIC24 is powerful and flexible, easy to interface too and has lots of support for C programming in terms of APIs to help control its devices. Similar for the ARM. Most of our projects use PIC or Freescale 16bit processors, dsPICs for specialist multimedia projects (e.g. interfacing to Midi devices) and ARMs and PIC32s for more rigerous and power demanding requirements.
Even for commercial appliactions we now use PIC24s or PIC32s unless we are going to ten's of thousands of units and alternatives are significantly cheaper.

i did not understand what you mean by out of date.. just by working on some good technology and controllers makes people think simple controllers are out dated...

for your information ATMEL 89c51 is about 60% of the production of any atmel controller they produce till date...
without understanding timer -> if you teach capture and compare mode. its useless similarly if you dont teach address and data bus and prefer to teach amba , AXI or higher bus configuration no one can learn... thats my suggestion being in this field for 11 years and trained almost 50000 people.

there may be difference of opinion but let us close this here and try to help the poster with some solution....
