1. Basic parts and functions of microcomputer. Address-, data- and control-bus. Peripheral circuits. Address space and its partition, addressing peripheral circuits, RAM and ROM locations (Von Neumann, Harvard). Memory maps. Address decoders. 2. Computer Details. CISC and RISC processor. Cache. Registers GPR. Arithmetic-logic unit, flag bits. Stack and its control, meaning. 3. Interrupts. Reset, various causes, monitoring of the power voltage. Generation and internal distribution of clock pulses. Low-power modes. Microcontroller internal bus system, connecting matrix. 4. RISC processor, pipeline, its importance and acceleration, requirements to instruction set for optimal operation. Typical 5-stage pipeline, its grades, and their operations. Basic types of instructions and their implementation. Status bits, their creation and use. Jumps conditional and unconditional, call subroutines, meaning of link-register. Stack and its function. Possible conflicts in the pipe and their solution. Empty the pipe, "bubble". Possibility of Jump Acceleration. 5. Interrupts. Typical request path and processing. Priorities, their evaluation, priority levels. Interrupt controller, operation, collaboration with processor. Assigning subroutine start addresses. Usage in programs. Interrupt latency and possibilities of shortening. Structure of the interrupt subroutine. Switching banks, link-register. Using Stack. 6. Memory system, different types of memory. Moving areas of memory space. Overlapping circuits. RAM-ROM overlay. Mirroring. Fullfill memory with different lengths of data. Acceleration of access to data memory - CACHE memory, activity. Speed up access to FLASH. 7. DMA Channel. Operation, co-operation with processor, operation in individual modes, use. Location in computer. 8. Peripheral circuits. Overview and importance of individual peripheral circuits: parallel ports, serial ports, counters and timers, analog inputs and outputs, etc. 3 modes of peripheral circuits control. Multiple use of case pins output blocks, input signal processing circuits. Bus for external chips. Multiplex Bus. Address decoders, programmable chip selection. 9. Parallel inputs/outputs. Addressing, controll the transmission direction. Connection with attached device, principle of "handshake". "Push" and "pull" protocol. Program implementation of protocol, possibly pitfalls. Parallel port circuits. Hardware monitoring of input changes. 10. Serial Inputs/Outputs. Character Synchronization block, Operation, UART and RS-232, Signal timming for 1 Character Transfer. Bit Synchronization Circuits, Function. Serial peripherL bus - SPI. Serial peripheral bus - IIC. 11. Counters and timers. Counting modes, timing, periodic pulse generation. "Input Capture" and "Output Compare" timing unit, cooperation with the interrupt system. Using counters and timers in programs. Pulse Width Modulators. 12. Analog inputs. Chain in full assembly and simplified solution for microcontrollers. Functions, modes of operation, use of converter output registers. Analog outputs assembly, operation. 13. Reserve - adding details in the topics discussed
