Introduction to Embedded Systems by Dr. Gouri Goutam Borthakur is a clear, practical, and learner-friendly introduction to the fascinating world of embedded systems, microcontrollers, programming, and hardware–software integration.

From automobiles and household appliances to industrial controllers, communication devices, medical instruments, and IoT applications, embedded systems are an essential part of modern technology. This book helps undergraduate students understand the principles behind these systems and develop the skills needed to program and build them.

Beginning with the fundamentals of embedded systems and microprocessors, the book progressively covers the 8085 microprocessor and 8051 microcontroller, 8051 architecture and programming, Assembly Language, Embedded C, I/O port programming, timers and counters, serial communication, interrupts, ADC/DAC and LCD interfacing, embedded-system development, and Arduino.

The book places particular emphasis on learning through practice. Concepts are supported by examples, MCQs, conceptual questions, numerical problems, programming exercises, and Fun Learning Activities, helping learners strengthen both conceptual understanding and problem-solving ability.

Rather than focusing only on instructions and definitions, the book encourages students to understand how embedded systems work, how they are programmed, how hardware and software interact, and how complete systems are designed.

Designed primarily for STEM undergraduates, this book can also serve as a useful introductory reference for teachers, beginners, and anyone interested in exploring embedded technology.

Learn. Build. Experiment. Innovate.
