MIcro-processors & Micro-controllers-The context

As discussed here couple of days back, I have uploaded the first part of the course, named "The context". This is a set of about a dozen slides that talks about the context in which following topics will be discussed. By the very nature of these presentations, not many problems and real-life projects could be discussed in this or the following presentations (yes, I plans to update the existing presentations on the slideshare site). For that kind of coverage a coaching on-line, as discussed below will be suitable.

We discuss typical system environments and the system characteristics of systems using micro-processors and micro-controllers. The real major difference of a microprocessor with a microcontroller  is that a microprocessor is just the processor part of a system on a chip.You need external memory, I/O controllers and other resources to put together a system. The micro-controller on the other hand is a complete processor on a chip with some amount of non-volatile memory and a small amount of volatile memory. Depending on the resources available on the chip, you could implement a control processor on just a chip. These are ideal for low cost and minimal systems.

The design of these systems involve both hardware to designed and software to be developed. Obviously, you have to test the integrated system to make sure no problems pass on to your end customers.

If you would like to learn the microprocessor and microcontroller based designs, you could join the courses conducted by Debasis and benefit from personal interactions as well as the extensive examples and problem solving done on the Google hang-out sessions.
