Learn to program the propeller in Spin and C and how to map the Propeller Assembler language (PASM) from other high-level languages you might know.
The overall task you will pursue in the book is to implement a Delta Compression algorithm: first in Spin, then in PASM, then in C. Along the way, you'll review Test Driven Development, a powerful technique for validating code, and conclude with a chapter on hardware manipulations. The book's main goal is to help you extend the capabilities of the Propeller processor by using the Assembler language.
What You’ll Learn
- Use a data compression/decompression application to introduce PASM to the reader
- Integrate C and PASM code
- Review hardware interactions (setting and reading pins)

Dr. Sridhar Anandakrishnan is a Professor of Glaciology and Geophysics at Pennsylvania State University where he studies the flow of glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland. Sridhar uses the Propeller chip in a seismic data acquisition device that we use "On The Ice" as they say!
