After you install the programs, start writing
simple x86 assembly programs soon. Otherwise it might be difficult
to follow the lectures in the class.
|
|
Before your first assembly programming
assignment, you should have finished the basics presented in
the first two lectures. That is the components of a microprocessor based system,
memory basics and memory system design, microprocessor architecture
and its operations, the execution of basic instructions LDA, STA, IN
and OUT. |
|
Always remember the academic integrity
for this and other courses.
We will be very careful in grading
the projects, homeworks, exams so that everybody gets the grade that
he/she deserves. Copying will not be tolerated and will be checked
and punished rigorously.
The Fatih University has
a very strict policy on academic dishonesty. All work on homeworks
and examinations must be strictly individual. Violations of this
policy will result in an F grade for the class and may result in
suspension/expulsion from the university.
If you
cheat, you hurt yourself and your personal integrity !
