Course Objectives In this course, students will be introduced to microcomputers and microprocessors. The topics covered will include understanding 80x86 family architecture, Assembly language programming of the 80x86 CPU for low level tasks, introduce computer organization and architecture of the PC.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to develop assembly language programs aligned with processor architecture and program development environment,
  • will be able to define memory management, the protected mode and the virtual 8086 mode employed in the lab,
  • will be able to describe how hardware and software interrupts work,
  • will be able to analyze an embedded system to determine base address, range of memory and I/O, and the number of reflections resulting from partially decoded address lines,
  • will be able to design direct mapped or n-way associative cache memory from SRAM elements,
  • will be able to build memory from typical memory components such as SRAM, DRAM, EPROM and FLASH, given overall specifications.
Course Description The following topics will be included: the fundamental concepts of microprocessors and the relationship between assembler and basic components of a computer. 80x86 family architecture, 80x86 based Assembly language programming, computer organization and architecture of the PC.
