Re: Design Hardware for Embedded Systems

Hello all.

I would like to know how can I design the hardware of my embedded
system. Right now I just have an idea of a project, a processos family
that I probably will use, and a few perifericals that would be
present. I would like to know how can I build the hardware of this
system, what metodology and tools to use.

Thank you very much for any help, I really need it! If you need any
futher information in order to help me, please let me know.

Before you go arbitrarily selecting a processor chip and other peripheral
items there are a few steps to accomplish first. Tim Wescott covered a few
good ideas for you to follow through with.

Whether as a hobbyist or as an engineer in training the project needs a goal
so that you know when you have achieved what you set out to do. Once you
have defined the main goal, there will be a number of sub-goals that you
need to achieve along the way.

The books at this link:-

will certainly give you some guidance on the way to approach the design and
programming of embedded systems. Jack has also reviewed a number of books
on the topic and probing around his site would lead you to a long list of
useful books.

If the answers you get seem non-specific then it is because your original
question was rather non-specific. None of the experts here claim to be
practitioners in any form of telepathy so we are left waiting for what you
have in mind. Be specific about your goals and questions and we may be able
to assist more.
