Microcontroller Engineering with MSP432 : Fundamentals and Applications

This book is designed for college students taking embedded controls or intelligent controls courses. It imparts both fundamental knowledge and practical techniques in the designing and building of professional microcontrollers applied in real industrial and commercial applications. The book provides a detailed description of the practical considerations and applications in embedded designing and programming using Keil ARM-MDK μVersion5.15, which is one of the most updated kits. It includes homework problems, real-world examples, and programming projects for hands-on application of material covered in each chapter.

This book aims to develop professional and practical microcontroller applications in the ARM-MDK environment with Texas Instruments MSP432P401R LaunchPad kits. It introduces ARM Cortex-M4 MCU by highlighting the most important elements, including: registers, pipelines, memory, and I/O ports. With the updated MSP432P401R Evaluation Board (EVB), MSP-EXP432P401R, this MCU provides various control functions with multiple peripherals to enable users to develop and build various modern control projects with rich control strategies. Micro-controller programming is approached with basic and straightforward programming codes to reduce learning curves, and furthermore to enable students to build embedded applications in more efficient and interesting ways. For authentic examples, 37 Class programming projects are built into the book that use MSP432P401R MCU. Additionally, approximately 40 Lab programming projects with MSP432P401R MCU are included to be assigned as homework.
