Supplemental Notes

Hello, my name is Jonathan Hill. I am a professor in the College of Engineering (COE) at the University of Hartford. I teach courses related to computer engineering. I've found to my surprise, that in my teaching I do quite a bit of typing. This page is set up to serve as a central access point to the supplemental notes that I type.

Please Let me know that you read my web pages.

ASM ChartsA brief introdution to ASM charts

Binary Sequece Detection Notes

These notes were originally prepared for an introductory logic circuits course, even still it presents an interesting state machine example.

'C' Programming Review

These notes were first written for students in the embedded microprocessor course that I teach. I've used these notes with other students as well, to help them reviewing 'C' programming.

Introduction to Code Warrior for the 68HC12

This tutorial is written for the Embedded Microprocessor course that I teach.

cxlib - Cooperative multitasking library for CodeWarrior and the 68HC12

The step after super-loop structures is cooperative multitasking, like that provided by cxlib. The library is relatively simple and provides a first introduction to the internals of multitasking.

Delay Time Anaylsis

An introduction to manual techniques for examining the delay in combinational logic circuits.

Software useful for ES115 - Engineering Computer Applications

Students have several software options available to them. These pages should help.

Flowcharts

Graphical representation of procedures

KiCad and Dia

Schematic capture and technical drawing software

Microcoded Data Path

Using VHDL structural techniques to describe a rudimentary processor

Spice Simulation

Collection of Spice related items

Super Loops - Assembly language example for the 68HC11

Super Loops - Assembly language example for the 9S12 and CodeWarrior

Super Loops - CodeWarrior 'C' for 68HC12 version

Many high-volume low-complexity microcontroller based applications such as microwave ovens, toys, and the like use a loop structure that repeatedly calls a set of functions in order.

Introduction to Xilinx ISE

Introduction to Xilinx ISE Schematic capture (OLD)

Xilinx ISE is a set of FPGA design tool, it comes in a professional version as well as a no-cost version called WebPack. Download WebPack from the Xilinx webpage.

Dated Notes

The following are less likely to be maintained. Please Let me know that you read my web pages and in particular if any of the following are still useful.

Introduction to Buffalo: Buffalo is a resident monitor/debugger program used with the Motorola 68HC11E9 mircrocontroller. We previously used this device to teach students about microprocessors, peripherals, and assembly language programming.

The 471X Architecture - a 4 bit microprocessor: This project has been helpful to a number of my graduate and undergraduate students
