Introduction to Microprocessor-Based Systems Design

The book "Introduction to Microprocessor-Based Systems Design" offers a comprehensive introduction to the design of microprocessor-based systems, specifically for students of engineering and computer science. It starts with the fundamental concepts and gradually guides readers through the development of a simple microprocessor. The practical approach is enhanced by numerous examples and solved exercises that promote understanding and make learning more effective. The examples discussed in the book can be simulated using the Digital Electronics Education and Design Suite (Deeds), which is available for free online. In the final part of the book, various microprocessor-based systems are presented, specifically developed for educational purposes and implemented on FPGA-based platforms. The textbook is based on the authors' extensive experience in teaching and developing learning materials for engineering programs, making it suitable for self-study as well as independent use from the simulator. The hands-on learning approach does not require prior knowledge of computer programming.
