Anotation:
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the properties of microprocessor systems, teach them to effectively use the internal peripherals of the processor, connect external circuits to the processor bus, and create a moderately complex microprocessor system. Students will learn to write programs in the C language and possibly combine it with the symbolic address language.
