COURSE OUTLINE

EET 459: Microprocessor Systems Design

Credits and Contact Hrs. (Lecture/Laboratory): 3 credits, 150 contact minutes per week. 

Course Description: Introduction to industrial design procedures for microprocessor-based control systems. Emphasis on the integration of microcomputer hardware and software. 

Prerequisites/Co-Requisites: EET357, EET 358 / None

Textbook(s):

  • Ismail, Amin R; Rooney, Victor. Microprocessor Hardware and Software Concepts, 1st Edition, Macmillan Publishing Company. 1987.
  • Ismail, Amin R. HP-64000 Development System Network User's Guide, University of Dayton Press, 1986. 
    •

    Reference(s): None. 

    Course Coordinator: Amin R. Ismail, Associate Professor  

    Goals/Objectives: To introduce industrial procedures used to design micro-processor controllers using a design/development system such as the HP-64000 and Intel Series IV Development systems with In-circuit emulation. 

    Course Topics and lecture hours devoted to each topic:  

    • Study of the Intel SDK-85 system design kit as a prototype controller (2 hrs.)
    • Operation of the 8755 EPROM I/O chip, 8155 RAM I/O Timer Chip, and 8259 Keypad display chips (3 hrs.)
    • A minimum 3 chip prototype microprocessor system (3 hrs.)
    • Introduction to the HP-64000 design/development environment (4 hrs.)
    • Use of the HP-64000 Operating system (2 hrs.)
    • HP-64000 Software development tools - the editor, assembler, and linker. (4 hrs.)
    • Use of the SDK-85 pre-built relocatable subroutine library (3 hrs.)
    • In-circuit emulation on the HP-64000 (3 hrs.)
    • Hardware emulation techniques (2 hrs.)
    • Hardware testing (2 hrs.)
    • Software testing and debugging techniques (2 hrs.)
    • ADC, DAC, interfaces and applications (1 hr.)
    • Relay, Solenoid, optical interfaces and applications (1 hr.)
    • Tests (3 hrs.) 

    Computer usage:

    • Each student is required to complete 2 major projects using the HP-64000 microprocessor design/development system's software.
    • Students will be given various small assignments throughout the term to practice using the software development tools (Editor, Assembler, Linker, Emulator, EPROM Programmer) available on the HP-64000 systems. 

    Laboratory projects: Students are required to complete two term projects that involve the complete design and development of the hardware and software of a microprocessor controller. The design and development of the controllers will involve the use of the HP-64000 design/development systems. 

    Oral and written communication requirements: Students are required to orally present and demonstrate their projects to the instructor and classmates. Each student is required to complete a professional written report documenting their projects. 

    Calculus usage: None 

    Library usage: None
