Abstract

In traditional microprocessor systems design courses, students learn to develop assembly language programs to control peripherals, handle interrupts, and perform I/O operations. We adopt a 32-bit StrongARM architecture on the Motorola MX1ADS board with Embedded Linux to present a modern microprocessor system design course. With this new platform, we use a high-level language to develop projects that accelerate the students. learning curve. Embedded Linux also provides the necessary flexibility and tool set required for students to debug their own projects. Our students' responded very positively to this change. They were excited about the renewed course structure, the updated learning environment, and the challenging projects.
