Course Description: This course provides an introduction
to microprocessor architecture, assembly language programming and the use of
microcontrollers in implementing embedded systems. The internal architecture
and operation of stored program microprocessors are examined in detail
including arithmetic and logic units, special and general purpose registers,
memory addressing modes and interrupts. Assembly programming techniques
including data structures, branching, loops and subroutines are presented
using simple design examples. Hardware and software techniques for I/O
interfaces, both paged and interrupt driven are described. Specialized
on-chip microcontroller interfaces for timing, serial communication and A/D
conversion are used to implement simple I/O tasks useful in building
real-time embedded systems. The course uses the Freescale HCS12 as an example
of a 16-bit CISC architecture widely used in automotive applications. It also compares this architecture to the
ARM 32-bit RISC architecture. In the laboratory component
of the course, students will gain hands-on experience with assembly
programming and interfacing of the HCS12 to external peripherals using a
commercial evaluation board. Each group will then design, implement and
present a project of their own using the HCS12 board. |

Laboratory Work: All students are
expected to complete the lab works – they count a significant portion towards
the final grade. Teamwork is encouraged and students will be grouped
(maximum 3 students/group) to finish the lab works. Students will use
the Axiom CML-12SDP512 Development Board for their assigned labs and final
project. |
|
|
Examinations: TBD Students
will be able to use lecture notes and Huang textbook during exams. |
|
|
Grading: Grades will be based on the
following: ·
Attendance (5%)
·
Midterm
examination (20%) ·
Homework (20%) ·
Laboratory Work (25%) ·
Final
examination (30%) |

Academic conduct: It is important that each
student read and fully understand the information in the Honor
System at Stevens (http://www.stevens-tech.edu/honor_board/) regarding academic conducts. Teamwork and
discussions are encouraged during this course, however, "all academic
work submitted by a student must be the result of his own thought and
research." - Statement from The responsibilities of students in the
Honor System at Stevens. Definition of plagiarism:
(from the Statement from The responsibilities of students in the Honor
System at Stevens.) The dictionary defines
plagiarism as the act of "...stealing and using the ideas, writings, or
inventions of another as one's own" or ".... taking passages,
plots, or ideas from another and using them as one's own". |
