Internetworking Eight-Bit Microcontrollers: Fundamentals and Applications with the 8051

Internetworking Eight-Bit Microcontrollers provides a comprehensive introduction to interfacing 8-bit microcontrollers to the Internet. It is aimed at the dedicated engineer or student who would like a "nuts-and-bolts" view of Internet technologies. This textbook is about amplifying the effectiveness of small microcontrollers by allowing them to communicate small sets of data over the Internet. While it is rather uncommon for a single textbook to discuss circuitry-level issues as well as software and networking protocols, we have attempted to do this to provide a holistic view of the topic. The software takes a minimalist approach. This approach is particularly applicable to eight-bit microcontrollers with limited resources. Only original material is contained in this book: no attempt is made to duplicate supporting material available from other sources. The supporting material such as data sheets and RFQs are provided on the CD included with the book. The enclosed CD contains: All of the software examples from the book, Reads51 (Rigel Corporation’s 8051 IDE with assembler, C compiler, editor, and chip simulator), The referenced data sheets and RFCs. System Requirements: Pentium IBM PC or compatible with Windows 98 or better, CD ROM Drive.
