Unique Paper Code: Update Awaited

This course introduces internal architecture, programming model of Intel Microprocessors (8086-Pentium) and assembly language programming using an assembler. Students will also learn interfacing of memory and I/O devices with microprocessor.

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the course, students should be able to:

  • Describe the internal architecture of Intel microprocessors.
  • Define and implement interfaces between the microprocessor and the devices.
  • Write assembly language programs.
