Microprocessor, Microcontroller and Programming Basics

EBook Description: This book contains Microprocessor, Microcontroller and Programming Basics.

Despite its relatively old age, the 8051 is one of the most popular microcontrollers in use today. Many derivative microcontrollers have since been developed that are based on--and compatible with--the 8051. Thus, the ability to program an 8051 is an important skill for anyone who plans to develop products that will take advantage of microcontrollers.

Introduction to the MIPS Processor

The processor we will be considering in this tutorial is the MIPS processor. The MIPS processor, designed in 1984 by researchers at Stanford University, is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) processor. Compared with their CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) counterparts (such as the Intel Pentium processors), RISC processors typically support fewer and much simpler instructions.

MIPS Processor Example

MIPS is a 32-bit architecture with 32 registers
Consider 8-bit subset using 8-bit datapath
Only implement 8 registers ($0 - $7)
$0 hardwired to 00000000
8-bit program counter

Programmed Introduction to MIPS assembly language

The emphasis of the course is on understanding how computers work. This will provide a basis for further study of computer architecture and computer software. The MIPS processor, the subject of this course, has a well designed architecture and is particularly fruitful to study.
