Abstract

This project exploits the latest in microcontrollers-an entire environment for developing and prototyping a microcontroller application. With one key chip, a little glue, and a Dumb terminal a powerful system is achieved at a vanishingly small cost. This "one chip" system is adequate for realizing a wide range of applications calling for a small computer or an embedded processor.

Besides economy of system cost, the turn around time from concept to functioning application can be extremely short, even when the development engineer is not particularly well acquainted with traditional assembly language and microprocessor development practices. This economy is achieved by simultaneously exploiting the microcontroller architecture and the latest high level software - on - silicon.

This thesis presents :

1) A development system and software package,and

2) A single board computer for end - application,

Which together constitute a self sufficient environment for product development.
