- Great Book - Must have if you want to do something with PIC
This is a great Book. Worth the buy if you wanted to learn how to get working with PIC.

- Great book for the professional, good book for hobbyist
I purchased Embedded Hardware because I'm a computer science student and hobbyist who wants to understand more of this stuff.

The first couple chapters which covered the basics were well written and was a refreshing review of the associated topics.

Most of the embedded hardware discussed was embedded processors, the busses in an embedded system, and the different memory types used. These topics take up about 1/3 of the book. The coverage is very complete.

Another huge part of the book talks very in depth about RS-232. It starts with a history lesson, then talks about the standards, and then proceeds to show you how to write your own UART code in Basic, C, and assembly. While this is one topic I'm very comfortable with, I found a lot of the discussion to be long, drawn out, and just plain overkill. The same section covers I2C and SPI and those were done properly. YMMV here. ... Read More

- for EEs designing systems
For an electrical engineer, the book has scads of details about how to use various types of chips, when designing a system like a microprocessor on a motherboard. Typical information includes the differences between NAND and NOR chips. NAND has higher densities than NOR because of a more efficient cell layout method. But NAND tends to have higher bit error rates. And NAND flash chips need a file system, unlike NOR.

Timing analysis gets a good discussion in one chapter. Which also talks about the 3 most common logic families - TTL, NMOS and CMOS. A little surprising for me to see TTL (aka. bipolar) mentioned. These were the first type of transistors I dealt with, but I thought they got phased out years ago. But there are still TTL chips in use. And the TTL-derived logic voltage levels also persist in legacy designs. The comparative analysis provided of these logic families is succinct.
