ENG301e: Microprocessor Programming |
Examine the principles and basic concepts of National Instruments LabVIEW
and discuss the process of translating graphical code into executable machine
code by interpreting the syntax and by compilation.
Consider a hypothetical 32-bit microprocessor having 32-bit instructions
composed of two fields: the first byte contains the opcode and the remainder the immediate operand or an operand address.
- Determine the maximum directly addressable memory capacity
- Appraise the impact on the system speed if the microprocessor bus has
a -32-bit local address bus and a 16-bit local data bus, or
b- 16-bit local address bus and a 16-bit local data bus.
- Determine the number of bits needed for the program counter and the
instruction register.
Analyze ARM processor architecture and microcontroller configuration and answer the following.
- Discuss how fast memory access of Cortex-M1 improves performance.
- Design a Reduced Instructions Set Computer (RISC) program that computes the expression. Use register addressing mode.
- Design a Complex Instructions Set Computer (CISC) program that computes the following expression
