    Synopsis

    The objective of this course is to understand
    - the design and working principles of a modern computer (processor, memory hierarchy, peripherals)
    - the lower levels of the software stack (assembly language, application binary interface, interruptions, input/output drivers, compiler).

    Expected skills
    - understanding the execution of a program or operating system on a machine
    - low-level programming of embedded systems
    - optimizing the execution of software for a given architecture (exploiting caches, instruction-level parallelism, etc)
    - exploiting technical documentation in these fields

  • Labs

    Lab #1 to #3 - Micro-machine - in french
      • Le sujet (pour les séances des semaines 47, 49 et 50). Mis à jour le 04/12/2024.
      • les fichiers Digital : mm-minimale.dig, Reg.dig, substract.dig, ALU.dig, Reg2.dig
      • Le fichier programme exemple prog1.hex
      • Un script python pour assembler (c'est à dire passer de la syntaxe "assembleur" à de l'hexa-décimal représentant l'encodage binaire des instructions)
        • NB : pour fonctionner ce script python a besoin de deux packages python qui ne sont pas forcément installés sur votre machine. Pour résoudre ça tapez (dans un shell) :
          • pip3 install lark
          • pip3 install bitarray
      • Un programme rust pour assembler les programmes micro-machine est également disponible ici : https://github.com/GartoxFR/miniasm
      • des exemples de programmes assembleur, ici, ici et encore là.
    • Spécifiquement pour la partie sur les interruptions :
    Lab #4 and #5 - msp430 - in french too :

  • QCM 2024-25
