LABORATORY CONTENT
This course includes a REQUIRED on-campus laboratory section. All students must enroll in an on-campus laboratory section and attend and complete all laboratory exercises on-campus. Enrollment in a distance section of the lecture portion of the course DOES NOT relieve students from the responsibility of attending and completing on-campus laboratory assignments. Any student who misses more than ONE unexcused laboratory assignment will not pass this class and will receive a failing grade.

DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS
If you need academic accomodations for a disability, you must first contact Disability Accommodations & Success Strategies (DASS) at 214-768-1470 or www.smu.edu/alec/dass.asp to verify the disability and to establish eligibility for accommodations. Then you must schedule an appointment with the professor to make appropriate arrangements.

OBSERVANCE OF RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS
Religiously observant students wishing to be absent on holidays that require missing class should notify their instructors in writing at the beginning of the semester, and should discuss with them, in advance, acceptable ways of making up any work missed because of the absence.  (See University Policy No. 1.9.)

EXCUSED ABSENCES FOR UNIVERSITY EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Students participating in an officially sanctioned, scheduled University extracurricular activity will be given the opportunity to make up class assignments or other graded assignments missed as a result of their participation.  It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructor prior to any missed scheduled examination or other missed assignment for making up the work.  (See the University Undergraduate Catalog).

CATALOG DESCRIPTION
Emphasizes the design and interfacing of microprocessor computer systems. Topics coverd: processor architecture and interfacing, memory structure and interfacing, bus systems, support chips, tools for hardware design, analysis, simulation, implementation, and debugging. The theoretical part of the course is complemented by a laboratory in which students get practical experience in designing and analyzing interfaces to processors, memories, and peripherals.

PREREQUISITES
1. Either a) or b)
      a) CSE 3381 (or EE 2381) and CSE 2240
      b) EE 3381
2. Assembly language programming experience
    (We will only spend a BRIEF amount of time reviewing ARM assembly, so if it is new to you, be prepared for some self-study!
      If you have never had an assembly class, you need to drop this class and take or audit CSE 2240 OR EE 3381)
