81 The combination of an ELB816 emulator, debugger and assembler could be
|
|
jb302@37
|
82 used as a set of tools for learning or teaching micro-processor programming
|
|
jb302@40
|
83 without the intricacies of real-world commercial micro-processors getting

85 A PC based emulator would allow students to quickly develop and debug programs
|
|
jb302@37
|
86 written in a simple assembly language on any modern desktop or laptop,
|
|
jb302@37
|
87 and an MCS-51 port running on an 8052 would allow students to test programs
|
|
jb302@37
|
88 in an actual circuit.
|
|
jb302@37
|
89 EDE aims to bring together these components in order to provide an environment

jb302@37

90 for using ELB816 as an educational tool.
