Abstract :
This paper summarizes the rationale behind the revision of a microcomputer laboratory course involving hardware software co-design and the integration of microcontroller based systems with a general-purpose microprocessor System. The revised course replaces aging custom hardware with a high-performance PDA running Linux and a feature rich FPGA prototyping board. The resulting course objectives and content as well as early experiences are highlighted.
