| Summary: | In traditional Embedded Control Technology courses, students learn to develop assembly language programs to
control peripherals, handle interrupts, and perform I/O operations. However, students find the subject is difficult as
the subject is presented in a lecture format. Unfortunately, this Embedded Controller Technology (ECT) course is a
compulsory course in any electrical or electronic field of engineering. This paper aims to describe development of a
flexible multi-microcontroller training system based on 8-bit microcontroller in Microchip, Freescale (formerly
Motorola) and Intel family. For this reason, a new laboratory evaluation tool (UMP-EVT) specifically will be
designed to be as a learning tool for those who intend to learn microcontroller and for use in the academic
environment. With an extensive of this training system, it could let the user to get start with their microcontroller
application efficiently. In addition, it is further boosted by the introduction of Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) features in order to create user-friendly environment. By using this UMP-EVT, users are exposed to practical
experience of the microcontroller and provide an easy path to learn this intelligent electronic device in short time. In
this respect, this UMP-EVT would be applicable for education and expose the electrical engineering students to the
understanding fundamental of microcontroller in electronic design field. |
