Course Description

This course serves as an introduction to microcontrollers, using the MC68HC11 as an example.

Course Work

Unless otherwise specified, all work that you submit in this course must be your own; unauthorized collaboration is considered academic dishonesty. Please save us both a lot of trouble by realizing that I will pursue any such transgressions to the fullest extent possible. As a rule, late assigments are not generally accepted (e.g., attempting to hand in an assigment after the start of class on the due date will result in a grade of 0 for that assignment). Late assignments will only be accepted under exceptional circumstances AND with prior arrangement. A penalty may apply.

Grading Policy

Final grades will be determined via the following breakdown:

 

Exam #1	25%
Exam #2	25%
Homework and Quizzes	15%
Class Participation	5%
Comprehensive Final Exam	30%

Your class participation grade will be determined by your on time attendance to class as well as your participation in classroom discussions. Pop quizzes, when given, will cover material previously covered in class, previous homework assignments, and/or simple questions on the current days reading assignment.   Please read Making the Grade by Kurt Wiesenfeld and keep his views (which I share) in mind when deciding how much effort to invest in your coursework.

Schedule of Upcoming Classes

No. Date Topic, Reading, and Assignment 1 Jan 9 Introduction Read Chapter 1 Homework # 1 assigned. Due at 1:00 pm on Tuesday January 13th 2 Jan 12 CPU Registers, machine code, source code, assembly vs higher level language Through Section 1.5 Homework # 2 assigned. Due before class on Wednesday, January 21st 3 Jan 14 68HC11 Addressing Modes, and a sample of instructions Section 1.6 through 1.8 4 Jan 16 Manual assembly, disassembly, use of op code map in Reference Guide . Jan 19 No Class: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Holiday 5 Jan 21 Program Traces (aka "execution history") and cycle-by-cycle operation Homework # 3 assigned. Homework 2 due before class, on table in front of room 6 Jan 23 Examples of program tracing and cycle-by-cycle operation as11 and Sim68 demo Intro to flowcharts, and the Carry/Borrow flag 7 Jan 26 Examples of C flag for multiprecision addition and subtraction multiplication and division double precision multiplication Please read section 2.6 prior to class. You may skip section 2.6.5, but pay particular attention to the part on double precision multiplication and example 2.10. This is an important concept, and you will have a lab exercise that builds on these ideas. Since this concept gives many students difficulty I would prefer that you read these sections before class on Monday. Recall that quizzes can sometimes be based on the reading assignment... Homework # 4 assigned. Homework 3 due before class, on table in front of room 8 Jan 28 Condition Code Register (CCR), Branching, Increment, decrement, compare instructions. Read through section 2.7.4 9 Jan 30 Arithmetic shift, logical shift, and rotate instructions E-clock period, NOP instruction, timing, and delay loops Skipping section 2.7.5, Complete sections 2.7.6-2.9 10 Feb 2 Introduction to the stack.

Homework 4 due before class, on table in front of room 11 Feb 4 Subroutine call and return. Parameter passing, result returning, and allocating space for local variables. Read sections 3.6-3.10 12 Feb 6 Stack manipulation when returning results on stack 13 Feb 9 Homework 5 due 14 Feb 11 Review accessing matrix/array elements (will not be on test) Went over homework 5 (will be on test) Homework 6 assigned. This is a chance to redeem yourself on the trace, cycle-by-cycle, and Sim68 portions of homework 5.
