Abstract
The microprocessor course offered by the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at the University of Santa Clara is a hardware/applications oriented course. Hardware interfacing as well as software is emphasized with laboratory equipment designed to facilitate hands-on hardware experience in a real-time environment. The needs of a real-time laboratory render the use of simulators and other non-real-time debugging tools inappropriate. Students should have individual hardware access as provided by single-board computers, and real-time analyzers or in-circuit emulators. Unfortunately, although such facilities are excellent for hardware development, their utility for software development is very restrictive. A hierarchical organization that provides software (top level) and hardware (bottom level) facilities will be described.
