Textbooks for Launchpads:

With low cost, high quality textbooks and many fully debugged sample programs available on Professor Mazidi's web site, teaching an ARM course can never be any easier.

Textbook for Tiva written by Prof. Mazidi and Prof. Chen	Textbook for MSP432 written by Prof. Mazidi and Prof. Chen

For an EE / ECE course, the Keil IDE and debugger seem be a very popular choice.  Professor Mazidi and Professor Chen have chosen the Keil IDE and wrote above textbooks. Professor Mazidi is a highly regarded author of many textbooks for embedded systems, and Professor Chen is an ARM controller software expert who wrote and tested all sample programs for the EduBase-V2.  We are very grateful to their help.

To know how to create a C project in Keil and download sample programs for the EduBase-V2, please visit Professor Mazidi’s web site:
