Introduction:
Contemporary design of microcomputer systems focuses on the application of system thinking to fabricate a cohesive ensemble of chip devices. Several well-known techniques are adapted for the system thinking approach.
microcomputer system is the fundamental element of an embedded system. It can be a standalone system or it can be part of a distributed system. The CPU is designed to manage a collection of memory and I/O devices that interfaces with peripheral components to provide monitoring and control services for the embedded application.

Course Description
This course provides participants with skills in the design of microcomputers and assembly language programming. It involves the interfacing memory and I/O devices to a microprocessor. The major blocks making up a microprocessor and system are presented. Participants will study I/O interfacing, microprocessor bus operation and timing, timers, and interrupts. The course is designed to be practical and is oriented towards daily laboratory sessions. In addition, a more comprehensive project allows participants to use their innovative ideas to design a real-world embedded controller.
