Objectives At the end of this course the student will be able to: • in general, or (given relevant diagrams and specifications) for a particular system, identify, and describe the role of, the components of (a) a microprocessor, (b) a microprocessor-based system, (c) a development suite (hardware, software) for a microprocessor-based system. • illustrate how data can be represented in (and accessed from) memory, implement arithmetic and data manipulation operations in assembly language, and assess how well code will perform in a given context, given the architecture and instruction set of a microprocessor • design and implement an appropriate interface between a microprocessor-based system and a peripheral device (or another microprocessor-based system), given relevant datasheets and suitable parts • select (and critique the selection of) a microprocessor-based system for an application, given relevant datasheets and application requirements Course Overview Microprocessors have been one of the most widely used methods of incorporating flexibility and intelligence into automated devices. Their general-purpose nature, speed and size have made them one of the most common components in Electrical Engineering. It is therefore necessary to develop a good understanding of their operation and how they can be used as building blocks for automated systems and control applications. This course explores the inner workings of a microprocessor from the programmer's perspective, as well as treating with external hardware issues such as interfacing, and c DECE, UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad ECNG2006 (EE25M) March 11, 2008 9 selection criteria for microprocessors.

  • Using Esterel-C to Model and Verify the PIC16F84 Microcontroller
    Using Esterel-C to Model and Verify the PIC16F84 Microcontroller Minsuk Lee, Cheryl Koesdjojo, Dixon Koesdjojo and Harish Peri Abstract High-level abstraction and formal modeling of reactive real-time embedded systems is an integral part of the embedded system design process. Such models allow designers to perform rigorous verification of the final product before manufacturing, thus ensuring that the final product is error-free. This paper outlines the process of creating a formal software model of the PIC16F84 microcontroller using the synchronous, event-driven Esterel-C (ECL) language. In addition, it describes the results of performing verification of this model using the XEsterel Verification Environment (XEVE) open-source software package. Finally, it offers a critical analysis of the verification results and suggestions to improve the verification process. Introduction even-driven Esterel-C Language (ECL). More Currently, real-time reactive embedded importantly, it describes and analyzes the results systems are used extensively. Given the mission- of performing formal verification on the model critical nature of such systems, designers cannot using the X Esterel Verification Environment afford to have any errors in the final product. As (XEVE). a result, all errors and behaviors of the system have to be verified and corrected at the design level. The verification process of such models Related Research and Products must be rigorous and as automated as possible, to Existing hardware simulators utilize one of save design time, and to ensure that the model is two simulation techniques: circuit simulation and error-free. This paper describes the process of functional modeling [1]. Circuit simulation designing a software model (simulator) of the involves creating a SPICE model (transistor-level PIC16F84 microcontroller using the synchronous, model) of the target hardware.

Enrique Cruz Velázquez A Dios antes que a nadie por ayudarme en esta etapa que felizmente concluyo, porque cada vez que sentía que este camino se hacia pesado él estaba conmigo; por brindarme salud y darme a mi y a mi familia esta oportunidad de saborear estos momentos tan importantes en mi vida. A mi familia que me han dado todo su apoyo no sólo económico, sino moral, espiritual y emocional. Porque cada vez que me desanimaba ellos estaban ahí siempre con un buen consejo y sobre todo con un mensaje alentador y porque se que mis logros son sus logros, por lo que puedo decir que juntos llegamos al final de esta etapa. Muchas gracias, los quiero mucho, con todo mi corazón, que Dios nos siga llenando de bendiciones y a trabajar en lo que viene. ¡GRACIAS! A mis amigos que siempre estuvieron conmigo en las buenas y en las malas y que juntos fuimos trazando un camino y sobre todo a aquellos que se pusieron la camiseta conmigo para sacar a flote este proyecto, porque no solo fue una cuestión de compañerismo sino de amistad.

  • 3 Literature Survey : Protocol Verification & Modeling
    2-Wire Time Independent Asynchronous Communications By Pj Radcliffe B.Eng. (Melb), M.Eng. (RMIT) A dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Electrical & Computer Engineering Science, Engineering & Technology Portfolio RMIT University Melbourne, Victoria Australia Submitted November 2006 Abstract Communications both to and between low end microprocessors represents a real cost in a number of industrial and consumer products. This thesis starts by examining the properties of protocols that help to minimize these expenses and comes to the conclusion that the derived set of properties define a new category of communications protocol : Time Independent Asynchronous ( TIA) communications. To show the utility of the TIA category we develop a novel TIA protocol that uses only 2-wires and general IO pins on each host. The protocol is analyzed using the Petri net based STG ( Signal Transition Graph) which is widely use to model asynchronous logic. It is shown that STGs do not accurately model the behavior of software driven systems and so a modified form called STG-FT ( STG For Threads) is developed to better model software systems. A simulator is created to take an STG-FT model and perform a full reachability tree analysis to prove correctness and analyze livelock and deadlock properties. The simulator can also examine the full reachability tree for every possible system state ( the cross product of all sub-system states), and analyze deadlock and livelock issues related to unexpected inputs and unusual situations. Reachability pruning algorithms are developed which decrease the search tree by a factor of approximately 250 million.
