LEARN HARDWARE FIRMWARE AND SOFTWARE DESIGN [abbreviated LHFSD5] is a practical application spanning on 3 actual, ultra-important domains: hardware, firmware, and software design. This book has a targeted audience of "beginners", since everything digital/IT starts from a blank page, then it build up logically, via luxurious explanations. For those readers who dare, we offer the means. Please refer to LHFSD5 Table of Contents, then take a look inside the book.

LHFSD5-DW is the compressed downloadable version of LHFSD5 in a digital format (particularly useful in class teaching). In order to lower the purchasing price of LHFSD5 to as much as possible, the digital version LHFSD5-DW has been stripped of all additional chapters [the non-functional ones] as follows:

A. Chapter "Little History" was deleted.
B. All "Suggested Tasks" subchapters have been deleted. These subchapters are important for beginners, as training practical exercises, though they are not mandatory.
C. All "Appendixes" have been removed, since they are not functionally important.

In order to properly evaluate the above changes, please view LHFSD5 TOC page. LHFSD5-DW may be easily installed on a tower/desktop/notebook/tablet PC, or on a smartphone, running Windows, Apple-Mac, Linux, or Android. Now, although the downloadable version is cheaper than the printed one, and a lot more comfortable/convenient to work with, you need to be aware that it comes with a few limitations, as follows:

A. LHFSD5-DW may be used only for personal educational needs, and for (direct/personal) class/tutoring activities. Reselling this file, "sharing" it, or simply displaying parts of its content on Internet pages is strictly prohibited.
B. The digital format of LHFSD5-DW [*.exe; *.tif] is not negotiable. However, rest assured that LHFSD5-DW may be opened in any OS (on smart phones, tablets, PCs) without additional software. [Printing resolution is set at 300 dpi, which is quite sufficient for viewing on screen, and even for printing on paper.]
C. File LHFSD5-DW.exe may be downloaded a single time, though this may be executed for only as long as physical stocks of LHFSD5 should last. Once the stock of LHFSD5 is depleted, LHFSD5-DW version also will cease to exist.

C. OPTION "SOURCE CODE ED5RV07EN-15"

SPECIFICATIONS

TITLE: "SOURCE CODE ED5RV07EN-15"
AUTHOR: O G POPA
FORMAT: digital, a self-extractable WinZip package named "ED05RV07EN_15.exe" (via site download)

SHELF PRICE: 15⁰⁰ EURO
BLUE TAG: buy SC ED5RV07EN-15 today for only 10 EURO!
ORDERING CODE: SC ED5RV07EN-15
STATUS: available

ATTENTION
The Source Code package SC ED5RV07EN-15 is not compatible with any of the previous editions of LHFSD. In other words, in order to work with ED5RV07EN_15, the 5th edition of LHFSD (in print or as a folder download) is mandatory. Consequently, SC ED5RV07EN-15 is not sold separately; it is purchased together with LHFSD5, or with LHFSD5-DW.

The Source Code SC ED5RV07EN_15 [working with LHFSD5 only] is A PRICELESS PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE for future hardware/firmware/software developers. Note that all HFS projects are modular, therefore you can work (or not) with parts of them at a time! As a marginal note, the entire Source Code ED5RV07EN_15 is richly commented on each and every single line of code.

File SC ED5RV07EN_15. exe unfolds into the following subfolders.

1. HARDWARE DESIGN: contains the complete schematics of LHFSD-HCK V5.00, plus high resolution color pictures of LHFSD-HCK V1.00/V2.20/V2.30—the layout and the silkscreen are perfectly clear.

2. FIRMWARE DESIGN: contains the source code files (*.c and *.h) of 12 firmware projects. The source code files are somewhat independent of the firmware C compiler used (it can be C30, XC16, or something else). Attention: these files are PRICELESS!

3. SOFTWARE DESIGN: contains 8 complete projects in VB6 (this code may be easily imported into any other superior version of VB/VBA). Note that we used the VB6 compiler to build and to explain the Source Code because VB6 is the easiest programming language to use, and also the easiest to understand. However, the users are encouraged to work with any other software compiler in "a similar manner"!

Note that package SC ED5RV07EN_15 comes with a few restrictions/limitations as follows:

A. SC ED5RV07EN_15 may be used only for personal educational needs, and for (direct/personal) class/tutoring activities. Reselling this package, "sharing" it, or simply displaying parts of its content on Internet pages is strictly prohibited.
B. File ED5RV07EN-15.exe may be downloaded a single time, though this may be executed for only as long as LHFSD5 and LHFSD5-DW are offered for sale. When LHFSD5 and LHFSD5-DW are no longer available, SC ED5RV07EN-15 package also will cease to exist.

We do have a few PCB LHFSD-HCK boards left that may be purchased with LHFSD5 printed book, on request. Ask us for a purchase offer.
