ET 282 - Microprocessors I


Credits: 3
Description
A course on microprocessors and interfacing with real world devices such as drones. Microprocessors will be programmed using assembly and higher-level languages such as C. A microprocessor’s instruction set will be covered along with its architecture and interface.

Student Learning Outcomes
  1. Demonstrate microprocessor architecture.
  2. Interface to a microprocessor’s address bus, data bus, control bus, memory and I/O.
  3. Demonstrate some common microprocessor/micro-controller instruction sets.
  4. Write assembly and higher-level language (such as C) programs.
  5. Demonstrate stack operations.
  6. Analyze subroutines and interrupt service routines, their relationship to the microprocessor’s stack and program counter.
  7. Identify microprocessor timing, machine cycles, and instruction cycles.
  8. Write flow charts corresponding to given program tasks.
  9. Recall the concepts of serial I/O.
