Overall Aims of Course |
|
This course introduces an example of microprocessor based
systems with an emphasis on its interfacing with external devices.
The example considered in this course is the family of
microcontrollers based 8051 architecture. The course emphasizes
processor architecture, instruction set, memory organization,
addressing modes, assembly language programming, embedded C
programming, interfacing to peripherals such as general purpose
input/output, timers, interrupts, and serial communication. The
course is accompanies by laboratory experiments directly linked to
the lecture topics for hands-on learning of the material. |
