Driving the learning: microprocessors from theory to practice

In this work we present the methodology applied in the microprocessor course of the computer engineering program at UnicenP. The methodology aims to drive the student from the theory concepts to the laboratory practice. We describes the use of several tools as the hardware description language for modeling microprocessors and microcomputers systems and its FPGA implementations, microcontroller experiments based on proto-o-board assemblies and electronic kits, previously developed in the computer engineering program.
