This is pretty much standard Computer Engineering curriculum. Most CE (and computer science) majors will have had a class that built a microprocessor (and of course all the digital electronics leading up to it).
- Natsu 16y agoIt was standard for EEs at my university, too. I remember that we learned the basics of binary (the logic gates, truth tables, Karnaugh maps), then built 1-bit adders, 8-bit adders, an ALU (with only addition and subtraction), a memory cell and a few other things until we had a basic workable CPU.
- sliverstorm 16y agoThough, at least at my school, we did the actual 'design a microprocessor' in software. It's cool to have an end product, but with software you are mostly limited to conceptual errors rather than the joyous world of debugging 8 identical (i.e. 8 bit computer) full data paths.
