About the software
The accompanying suite of programs includes interactive animations of combinational and sequential digital circuits and an integrated development system, IDE. The IDE includes a graphical simulator of the microprocessor that animates activity down to the micro-operation level. The reader can create and test, on her desktop, her own system designs using a variety of peripheral devices and using tools normally found in a microprocessor systems laboratory. The latest versions of the software are available on the author's website.
