Introduction to Microprocessor-Based Systems Design

This book is intended for a first course on microprocessor-based systems design for engineering and computer science students. It starts with an introduction of the fundamental concepts and then guides readers to developing a basic microprocessor example. A second microprocessor is presented, and readers are guided to the implementation and programming of microcomputer systems based on it. Numerous worked examples and solved exercises are included, and all examples and exercises can be simulated using Deeds (Digital Electronics Education and Design Suite). The book also covers different microprocessor-based systems developed on FPGA-based platforms and can be used for self-study or independently from the simulator.

This comprehensive textbook is meticulously designed to serve as a foundational course in microprocessor-based systems design for engineering and computer science students. It begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of microprocessors, paving the way for readers to embark on a practical journey toward developing a basic microprocessor example. Through a step-by-step problem-solving approach, readers are guided to understand and apply these concepts in real-world scenarios.

In the subsequent chapters, a second microprocessor is introduced, and readers are guided to its implementation and programming for the development of microcomputer systems. Numerous worked examples and solved exercises are provided to enhance understanding and facilitate effective learning. These examples and exercises have been developed using the Deeds (Digital Electronics Education and Design Suite), a freely available online platform developed and maintained by the authors. By utilizing Deeds, readers can simulate the discussed examples and access the solutions to all exercises and examples conveniently located on the same website.

Furthermore, in the final part of the book, diverse microprocessor-based systems are extensively developed, simulated, and implemented on FPGA-based platforms. These systems have been specifically tailored for educational purposes, offering hands-on experience to students. Drawing upon the authors' extensive experience in teaching and developing learning materials for bachelor's and master's engineering courses, this textbook is versatile and can be used for self-study as well as independently from the simulator. The learning-by-doing approach, coupled with abundant examples, ensures that readers gain a deep understanding of microprocessor-based systems without prior knowledge in computer programming.

In summary, this textbook is an invaluable resource for students seeking to excel in microprocessor-based systems design. It provides a solid foundation of knowledge, practical skills, and hands-on experience, enabling students to develop the expertise necessary to thrive in this rapidly evolving field. Whether used as a primary textbook or as a supplementary resource, this book is sure to be a valuable asset to anyone pursuing a career in engineering or computer science.
