2. Aims of the Course:
This course gives a thorough knowledge of programming and interfacing of the Intel family of microprocessors. Intel microprocessors have gained wide and at times exclusive wide application in many areas of electronics, communications, and control systems, particularly in desktop computer systems. To consolidate the material presented in class, students work on assembly-language programming assignments, and a major computer interfacing project.
3. Short Description:
This course is of 12 chapters divided into 15 weeks. The student should be aware of the importance of revising the material synchronously with the lectures. Prerequisites of this course include Logic Design, and a programming language like C, C++, or JAVA. The assessment is done by 3 quizzes (weeks 4, 7 and 11), a term paper and a final exam.
