Brey B.B. The Intel microprocessors. The Architecture, Programming, and Interfacing

New York: Prentice Hall, 2008. - 944 p.The Intel microprocessors 8086, 8088, 80186, 80188, 80286, 80386, 80486, Pentium, Pentium Pro Processor, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, and Core2 with 64-Bit Extensions. The Architecture, Programming, and Interfacing, 8th Edition.
This practical reference text is written for students who require a thorough knowledge of programming and interfacing of the Intel family of microprocessors. Today, anyone functioning or striving to function in a field of study that uses computers must understand assembly language programming, a version of C language, and interfacing. Intel microprocessors have gained wide, and at times exclusive, application in many areas of electronics, communications, and control systems, particularly in desktop computer systems. A major addition to this eighth edition explains how to interface C/C++ using Visual C++ Express, which is a free download from Microsoft, with assembly language for both the older DOS and the Windows environments.
Many applications include Visual C++ as a basis for learning assembly language using the inline assembler. Updated sections that detail new events in the fields of microprocessors and microprocessor interfacing have been added.
