Hi,
I am just venturing into the embedded systems field and I would like to know how to go about programming embedded systems in C. Any links/pointers would be very helpful. Also I would like to know how to learn about the whole field. Kindly help. Thanx in advance

You can play with C Cross Assembler like Keil C / Franklin C / SDCC to make any Embedded System in C.
They can be used for 8051,AVR or PIC as far as I know.
I myself use SDCC for my 8051 projects, it's free C Cross Compiler.

: I consider the best place to learn embedded systems programming to be http://www.embedded.com/ for all resources and links visit this site.
I'm considering venturing into it the Java way.Read short artical:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-1996/jw-09-ripps.html
At UCSC: http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/projects/embedded/

C is definitely a powerful option but the versatility of Java is worth a try.
All the best, mwagiru

yes...www.embedded.com would be a great place to visit regularly to be in sync with the embedded community...u can also refer to books like
"an embedded software primer" by david simon or "..art of designing embedded systems" by jack ganssle(from the good'ol embedded.com)...

i think C or java should not matter much as long as emphasis is on
understanding the basics of embedded systems....c is more prevalent because a large number of tools are already available in the market...
..to code,debug,simulate and test...
