Trevor Martin graduated from Brunel University in 1988 with an Honors degree in electrical and electronics engineering. In the same year, he began work as a junior hardware engineer at Philips Medical Systems. He joined Hitex in 1992 as a technical specialist for 8-bit microcontroller development tools. This included the 8051,68HC11\05\08 microcontrollers. He also gained experience with networking protocols such as CAN, USB, and TCP/IP. Since 2000, he has been supporting ARM-based microcontrollers, initially ARM7 and ARM9 CPU then moving to Cortex-M processor. To promote these devices, he has worked closely with both NXP and ST and also TI and Freescale to a lesser extent. Since 2005, he has written a number of "Insider's Guide” books that are introductory tutorials to ARM-based microcontroller families such as LPC2000, STR9, and STM32. He also runs regular training courses, a general Cortex Microcontroller workshop and also device-specific courses.
