Course Description:

This course aims to expose the students to analysis and design of microcontroller system software and hardware.  Assembly language as well as C language programming skills for real-time applications and interfacing will be gained through the laboratory experiments. MC68HC912D60, 16 bit microcontroller of Freescale from HC12 family is used in the experiments. This microcontroller is on an evaluation board, M68EVB912D60. The experiments are about programming the microcontroller using Freescale’s Codewarrior and MCUEZ assembler, debugger and emaluator. These experiments will teach registers, addressing modes, instruction sets, branching, subroutines, memory structure, interrupts and background debugging mode of the microcontroller.  Serial communication interface, analog to digital conversion unit, and timing unit of the microcontroller will be studied.

Laboratories:

The purpose of laboratory experiments is to gain experience on registers, addressing modes, instruction sets, memory structure, interrupts, background debugging mode, serial communication interface, analog to digital conversion unit, and timing unit of the microcontroller. Codewarrier and MCUEZ assemblers, debuggers and emulators will be used to write assembly and C codes intended for MC68HC912D60 16-bit microcontroller of Freescale’s HC12 family.

Lab 1: Introduction to CodeWarrior and Simple Assembly Code to Read a Switch and Turn on a LED

Lab 2: Assembly Code for Sorting and Arithmetic Operations

Lab. 3: Understanding and Using Stack and Subroutines: Sorting Example and turning on LEDs with a sequence using subroutines and stack.

Lab 4: Interfacing PS/2 Keyboard to MCU: Synchronous Serial Communication Example

Lab 5: Pulse Generation with Adjustable Pulse Width and Period Using the Timer Module and Interrupts

Lab 6: A Simple Voltmeter Using Analog to Digital Conversion Unit of the Microcontroller

Lab 7: Using the Serial Communication Interface of the Microcontroller and Introduction to C Programming

Laboratory Resources:

Microprocessor laboratory will be used to develop, run and test assembly and C codes for the experiements. Laboratory has 13 PCs loaded with Freescale’s Codewarrior and MCUEZ software. A limited version of Codewarrior is available at:

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?nodeId=01272600610BF1

Each PC is connected to M68EVB912D60, an evaluation board with MC68HC912D60 microcontroller. Serial Debugging Interface board can be used to program the microcontroller and do hardware debugging.

Midterms:

The approximate dates of the midterms in this course are indicated in the course outline. It will be held in class, and will be about 2 hours long.

Final Project:

The final project will take place during the final examination period. A group of three students will form a project team. Each team is going to propose a project topic that needs to be approved by the instructor.

Grading Policy:

Course grades will be assigned according to the following grading formula. Please note that this formula is tentative; students will be informed of any major changes.

Labs..................................................... 35%

Midterms .............................................. 30%

Final Project:......................................... 35%

In most cases students will be made aware of the basic statistics (mean, median, and standard deviation) for each assignment.
