The goal of this subject is enabling students to understand, make models and modular designs of microcomputer systems based on the microprocessors and microcontrollers. Besides, goal is to enable students to design, write and test application and system programmes in the symbolic machine language and high level programming language for the microcomputer system design.

The student who successfully completes this course will be able: to understand, model and design microcomputer system based on the microprocessors and microcontrollers, on structural level, according to the given specifications; to model, design, simulate and implement simple application and system programmes in the symbolic machine language and programming language at the high level for the given microcomputer system; and to test microcomputer system on the developing system.

Structure of the microcomputer systems for general purposes. Structure and features of the embedded microcomputer systems. Functional units of the microcomputer systems. Hardware functional unit design. Design of the microcomputer systems based on the microprocessors and microcontrollers. Application of software tools in design and simulation of microcomputer systems. Structure of the programme support of the embedded microcomputer systems. Design, writing and testing of application and system programmes. Application of programme languages at the high level and software tools in the programme support design of microcomputer systems. Introduction to microcomputer systems for real time operation.
