Aim:
The course gives a basic introduction to how simple processors work and are programmed. After the course you should be able to:
- (i) Program a processor at the lowest level.
- (ii) Using different addressing modes and interrupt handling.
- (iii) Perform calculations using binary arithmetic.
- (iv) Understand how a simple computer system is built.
- (v) Describe the processor's unifying role of place in a computer system.
- (vi) Troubleshoot software and hardware.
- (vii) Read and understand data sheets format and information.
- (viii) Using the processor's input and output devices.
- (ix) Contribute to the discussion and results in a labgroup.
These goals are achieved by using assembler.

Course contents:
Binary arithmetic:
Number representations, fix- and floating point. Arithemetic-logical functions, additionm subtraction, multiplication, shifts.
Computer architecture:
Internal dataflow in a simple computer model. Instructions, instruction formats, addressing modes, input and output, exceptions.
Input- and output peripherals.
A/D- and D/A-conversions.
Mikrocontroller:
Purpose and features. Built-in peripherals, timers, clocking alternatives, blackout och brownout.
