Objectives

After successful conclusion of this curricular unit, the student shall be able to 1) *recall* the instructions and the main addressing modes, as well as the main blocks present in the CPU architecture; 2) *explain* the development procedures underlying assembly programming tasks; 3) *apply* this knowledge and understanding to solve assembly programming exercises [basic skills]; 4) *analyse* assembly code to explain reasons for malfunctioning applications; 5) *evaluate and create*: choose a solution for a give case study and carry out all code development tasks to meet its requirements [advanced skills].

Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical presentations are based on slides complemented by code development / simulation examples. Student participation is encouraged and all students should expect to play an active role during one or more presentations. Lab sessions include exercises and hands-on work at the workbench, according to the planning available at the course web site.

Eligibility for exams

Each student must attend a minimum of 75% of the planned sessions and a final classification of at least 9,5 in 20.

Calculation formula of final grade

0,35*T1 + 0,35*T2 + 0,3TF comprising:
- Two written exams (T1 and T2) with a duration of 90 minutes each, to assess the basic skills referred in the “Objectives” sections of this unit.
- A final assignment lasting for 3 weeks, which will assess the advanced skills acquired by each student

Classification improvement

A written exam addressing pedagogical contents and lab skills.
