What’s on the CD-ROM?




            Programs

                              The programs on this CD-ROM will help you learn how to program
                          small embedded control systems. The directory named Programs contains
                          all of the programs from the book. Programs from each chapter are
                          grouped together in directories named Chapter1, Chapter2, etc., where the
                          number corresponds to the book chapter in which the code is found. The
                          subdirectory Header~1, or Header Files, contains a series of directories
                          that contain the specific header files needed to connect your compiled
                          code to the peripherals found on the indicated chips. These header files
                          have been used extensively, but you will probably still find an occasional
                          bug in them. If you do find a bug, please notify me at the email address
                          below.
                              There are demonstration compilers for the M6805, the M68HC11, and
                          the M68HC16 families of chips. The Byte Craft Limited compiler is
                          placed in directory C6805. Instructions for use of this compiler can be
                          obtained by merely typing \c6805\c6805 with no arguments and the
                          instruction sheet will appear.
                              The two Intermetrics demonstration compilers are placed in
                          HC11DEMO and  HC16DEMO respectively. When using one of these
                          compilers, the directory name should be placed in the system path. Only
                          one of the demo directories should be in the path at a time because the two
                          compilers both use the same function names. Confusion will reign if both
                          directories are in the path at the same time. In the Software directory, you
                          will find files named HC16BOOK.TXT and HC11BOOK.TXT. These
                          files are transcriptions of the books normally shipped with the Demo Kit
                          packages from Intermetrics. There is no convenient means to copy the
                          several figures found in these books into these ASCII files. Therefore, the
                          files are complete with the exception of the figures. The text describes the
                          contents of the figures. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused by these
                          necessary omissions. Also, the contents of these books contain discus­
                          sions of how you should install the various programs contained in the
                          Demo Kits. These compilers are already installed on the CD-ROM, but
                          the basic programs from which they are installed are found in the directo­
                          ries HC16 and HC11. You can reinstall these demonstration compilers
                          from the programs in these directories if you wish.
