Our next major topic is also covered in the Tanenbaum text. I
have placed my copy on reserve at Schow in case you'd like to read
it. See Chapter 3.
It shouldn't affect us since we're up in the Unix lab, but the
Mac labs will be down for maintenance Friday 2-4 PM.
Next week: we'll break into smaller lab sections for our first
digital logic lab. Availability?
Also next week: our first exam! It will be a take-home exam,
but it is not intended to be long. Block out 90 minutes or two
hours next week between our class meetings on Wednesday and Friday.
More details to come on Friday.
Lab 3 continues
Use BRK and DEB directives.
If you change your logic for the assembly version, try it out
in equivalent C. Come see my C solution for ideas.
Ask a lot of questions! That's why you're here and not
somewhere else!
Final words on the last assembly programming example
Introduction to Digital Logic
Some basic electronics: resistors, transistors
The inverter
Notions of gate delay, signal propagation, loading,
transistor/gate budgets
