A system to assist the learning of embedded microprocessor programming

Abstract

When implementing final year projects, students may need to program a microprocessor in order to achieve the project objectives. Therefore, a system is designed in order to assist students who have limited background knowledge in computer engineering to learn the basics of microprocessor programming primarily using the C programming language. In addition to the software, various hardware components are provided so that students can develop simple systems so the learning outcomes can be enhanced by practice. From feedback collected, users found that they are able to learn simple C language programming for a microprocessor with the help of the system.
