EZ-Micro Tutor lab board has a
Freescale MC68HC12 microprocessor mounted. The lab board includes a monitor EPROM, RAM,
RS323 serial interface and expansion bus connector.
| The monitor EPROM
serves two important functions: It allows students to communicate with
the CPU via a serial interface, and it also works as a boot EPROM,
which brings the microprocessor up to a predetermined stage after the
power-on sequence.
| 32k Byte RAM
is used to store the user’s program and data
variables. The board also has a standard RS232 serial port for user downloads and commands.
| The expansion bus connector
on the main board is very important, because it allows the student to
connect to lab projects. The student can design his or her own lab
project and connect it to the main microprocessor board using the
wire-wrap board. The additional lab project board allows the student
to learn hardware design, as well as software design.
| Software
The EZ-MICRO manager software is compatible with Windows 95/98, ME, NT, 2000, XP and is
designed to be very easy to use. The pull-down menus, dialog box
interface and on-line context-sensitive help are the features that
make it easy-to-use software. The user can create/edit source code,
assemble and download the file from manager software.
| Workbook The EZ-MICRO COURSEWARE book is an
integrated curriculum that has a student version and instructor’s
version of the workbook. The workbook contains exactly what you need
to know to make complex subjects easy to learn. The workbook contains detailed explanations of theory and also includes student lab projects. Each chapter ends with questions and suggested lab projects.
The instructor's workbook includes
the answers to all the questions, provides the schematic designs of
all the hardware lab projects and the software source listing of all the
software lab projects.
