This documentation does not attempt to teach the C or assembly language programming; rather, you should seek out one of the many introductory texts available. And similarly the documentation doesn't cover the SEGGER architecture or microcontroller application development in any great depth.

We also assume that you're fairly familiar with the operating system of the host computer being used.

C programming guides

These are must-have books for any C programmer:

• Kernighan, B.W. and Ritchie, D.M., The C Programming Language (2nd edition, 1988). Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, USA. ISBN 0-13-110362-8.
  The original C bible, updated to cover the essentials of ANSI C (1990 version).
• Harbison, S.P. and Steele, G.L., C: A Reference Manual (second edition, 1987). Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, USA. ISBN 0-13-109802-0.
  A nice reference guide to C, including a useful amount of information on ANSI C. Co-authored by Guy Steele, a noted language expert.

ANSI C reference

If you're serious about C programming, you may want to have the ISO standard on hand:

• ISO/IEC 9899:1990, C Standard and ISO/IEC 9899:1999, C Standard. The standard is available from your national standards body or directly from ISO at http://www.iso.ch/.
