Semester 1 - Microprocessor Systems
(2006-2007)

Lecturer: Dr. Michael Manzke

Time Table: Senior Freshman 2006-2007

Aims of Course: It is mainly a hardware design and construction course. The aim is for the students to design and build a working microprocessor system from IC components. The course describes how such components are brought together to produce a functioning system, and illustrates the sort of low-level software necessary to support the hardware for basic I/O and monitor services.

Contents: Intro to 68008; Clock and Reset Circuitry; Memory Map Design; Serial I/O Design; Exceptions and Interrupts; Monitor Design.

PROJECT DEMO:
5^th February 2007, LG35

All group members must be present at the project demo. The microprocessor board must be demonstrated according to the timetable. One group member will be selected to demonstrate the project without the help of the other group members. Students that do not attend the demonstration at the indicated time fail the coursework.

Time	Processor Kit 1 - 8	Processor Kit 9 - 15
9:00 - 9:15	1	9
9:15 - 9:30	2	10
9:30 - 9:45	3	11

DEADLINE:
4:30pm, 9^th February 2007

WHAT:
Project Kit, Tools and individual lab-books.

TO:
Technicians in Tech. Lab ORI.

NOTE:
Lab-books must be handed up at the same time as the project kit. As they are a diary of your work in the project. There will be nothing to add or change once the project work has stopped.
