Designing of Flexible Multi-Microcontroller Based TrainingudSystem

摘要

In traditional Embedded Control Technology courses, students learn to develop assembly language programs toudcontrol peripherals, handle interrupts, and perform I/O operations. However, students find the subject is difficult asudthe subject is presented in a lecture format. Unfortunately, this Embedded Controller Technology (ECT) course is audcompulsory course in any electrical or electronic field of engineering. This paper aims to describe development of audflexible multi-microcontroller training system based on 8-bit microcontroller in Microchip, Freescale (formerlyudMotorola) and Intel family. For this reason, a new laboratory evaluation tool (UMP-EVT) specifically will beuddesigned to be as a learning tool for those who intend to learn microcontroller and for use in the academicudenvironment. With an extensive of this training system, it could let the user to get start with their microcontrollerudapplication efficiently. In addition, it is further boosted by the introduction of Integrated Development Environmentud(IDE) features in order to create user-friendly environment. By using this UMP-EVT, users are exposed to practicaludexperience of the microcontroller and provide an easy path to learn this intelligent electronic device in short time. Inudthis respect, this UMP-EVT would be applicable for education and expose the electrical engineering students to theudunderstanding fundamental of microcontroller in electronic design field.
