An oscilloscope will be handy to replicate the graphs presented in the book but it is not a requirement. The last chapter entitled Musica, Meastro takes a closer look at the PWM (pulse-width-modulation) support of the PIC32. The file system support addresses the FAT file system that is typically found on these types of memory cards. The chapters include support for flash memory system such as SD/MMC cards. The mass storage and file systems chapters should prove to be useful in most applications.
A number of interesting applications including some Mandelbrot programs are provided to highlight the system’s operation.
Pic32 view on coolterm driver#
This actually covers a software-based video driver that also takes advantage of the PIC32 hardware to drive a VGA display. One of the more interesting analog interface chapters is called UTube.
Pic32 view on coolterm software#
There is minimal use of logic diagrams but this book is about software rather than interfacing. The PIC32 has a basic memory management unit so topics like virtual memory do not have to be addressed.Īnalog, digital, and communication chapters match peripherals with C code suitable for direct access or for writing device drivers. Memory management hardware and C memory management support has a chapter dedicated to it. As noted in the title, C is the way to deal with the PIC32. The more interesting parts of the book start in Chapter 5 where the interrupt system is addressed. It provides a fair overview in case C is not your primary programming language. Discussions about things such as numbers and arrays are presented in processor’s architecture context. The PIC32 simulator is highlighted next along with some C basics. Most chapters wrap up in the same fashion. The chapter provides step-by-step instructions and wraps with subsections for experts (C, assembly, PIC) as well as a Tips and Tricks subsection. Jasio starts with IDE basics including loading, compiling, and linking. It is designed for use with the Microchip Explorer 16 development board. The book comes with a copy of MPLAB, Micorchip’s IDE (integrated development environment). Still, you get the most out of the book if Microchip will be your chip supplier. It delves into Microchip’s development tools and software development suite while providing a general overview the MIPS32 architecture making it suitable reading for anyone that plans on working with a MIPS32 platform, not just a PIC32. The book is all about Microchip’s PIC32, a 32-bit, MIPS32-based microcontroller line.
