This course teaches how computers really work, starting from digital logic. It covers basic CPU design built from combinational and sequential logic, an introduction to programming in assembly, and basic OS design requirements, with an emphasis on embedded system design. We use the Nios II assembly language on DE10-lite boards. Topics covered include register logic, number representations, basic pipeline processing, caches, assembly, calling conventions, memory layout, memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, and OS
