ECE 3534: Microprocessor System Design, commonly referred to as micro, is a computer engineering class, often taken by sophomores in that major. The course concentrates on designing systems powered by a microprocessor, and is not about designing microprocessors, as the name might be taken to imply. After 2009, the course changed its course number to ECE 2524. Later, the course also changed its name to "Microcontroller Programming and Interfacing", and implemented new projects which focused on the Cerebot MX7ck PIC32 board.

Required Software

The course uses the Xilinx MicroBlaze. A compiler, assembler and programmer for this platform is necessary. The Xilinx tools are cross-platform and freeware or free software.
