Embedded System Design
Using 8031 Microcontrollers
Author’s Note
It is my great pleasure in introducing this eBook to your eyes. It covers many steps that should go into
an Embedded System Design.
Frontline Electronics has about 15 years of experience using 8031 microcontrollers and I was happy
to be with 8031 in all these years.
The contents of this eBook has been derived from our team’s vast hands-on experience.
Along the way, you may find the discussion about Frontline Electronics’ software tools. I am sure that
these discussions should give you many useful information that will help you in finishing your target
design fast.
As an author, I am eagerly looking forward to get your feedback on this eBook. Any suggestion is most
welcome. If I get enough feedback, I may include the source code for all the projects in the next
edition.
You can freely distribute this eBook to the fellow designers or any one interested in embedded
electronics.
Welcome to the Embedded world...!!!
