166/167

The Seimens range of 166 based microcontrollers are at the higher end of 16 bit microcontrollers. They are highly integrated devices with lots of goodies on board. They're fairly easy to get to grips with but I would recommend getting one of the starter kits to begin with. I'd also recommend getting hold of a copy of the Seimens "DAvE" CD, which I think, is included in most of their starter kits. You may never use the code it generates but it does seriously simplify the job of initializing the main components of the microcontroller and gives a pretty good introduction to the device. Here are a few 166 / 167 links that I have found useful. Most of the links are common with the 8051 links.

Keil - "C" compiler, linker and integrated development environment. Code limited version available for download and is identical to full version. A good system which I use exclusively	Tasking - "C" compiler, linker and integrated development environment. Code limited version available for download. I've only played with it but it looks OK	Hitex - Supplier of various starter kits, emulators, software etc. Also a good source for technical information and faq's on specific microcontroller issues.	Ceibo - Another supplier of starter kits, emulators etc	Philips - Manufacturers home page

Infineon (Was Siemens) microcontrollers - Manufacturers home page	CANHUG - CAN Hydraulic Users Group	CAN in Automation - Another CAN users group.	The C Coders Home Page - General useful "C" and "C++" stuff	The Chip Directory - Useful chip information and links

If any of the above links have died, been removed or are just plain wrong please email me and I'll put it right
