Dieses Buch behandelt Softwaretechniken, die es gestatten, auch anspruchsvollere Programme für AVR-Mikrocontroller zu entwickeln. Speziell wird im ersten Teil, welcher den Datenstrukturen gewidmet ist, besonders auf die Harvard-Architektur der Controller und die daraus resultierenden Programmiertechniken eingegangen. Die kleinen Arbeitsspeicher der meisten AVR-Controller erfordern immer wieder angepasste Implementierungsmethoden, davon werden einige im Buch vorgestellt, beispielsweise die verdichtete Speicherung und das Sortieren kurzer Zahlenfolgen mit Sortiernetzwerken. Die Implementierung der Buddy-Methode zur Arbeitsspeicherverwaltung zeigt, dass bei der Programmierung von AVR-Controllern nicht nur simple Algorithmen verwendet werden können.
Im zweiten Teil des Buches wird die Arithmetik der Controller analysiert. Diese Analyse ist aber kein Selbstzweck, denn sie führt auf Programmiertechniken, die ohne sie nur schwer zu erlangen oder zu erklären wären. Ferner wird eine Fixkommaarithmetik entwickelt, die der Rechenleistung der Controller in vielen Fällen besser angepasst ist als eine rechenleistungsintensive Fließkommaarithmetik. An zwei Beispielen wird gezeigt, wie auf dieser Basis auch höhere Funktionen implementiert werden können.
Für die Programme wird durchweg der AVR-Assembler eingesetzt, der kostenlos zur Verfügung steht. Der Simulator, welcher Teil der Programmierumgebung ist, der auch der Assembler angehört, gestattet es, die Programme des Buches nachzuvollziehen oder mit ihnen zu experimentieren, ohne einen echten Controller einzusetzen.

Elektor is a monthly magazine about hobby electronics, first published as "Electuur" in the Netherlands in 1960, and now published worldwide in nine languages: English, German, Dutch, French, Chinese, Greek, Spanish, Swedish and Finnish.  Elektor publishes schematics of electronic designs geared to hobbyists, but also of interest to professionals. To help hobbyists build these designs Elektor also offers printed circuit boards of many of its designs, and kits and modules. If the design uses a microcontroller, as is now often the case, Elektor also publishes the sourcecode for it on their website
