4.8 Exercises

A click on the icon shown on the left will open a trace of the program to be written in the Deeds-McE. Instead, with a click on the schematic on the right, when present, it is possible to open in the Deeds-DcS a microprocessor system ready to be loaded with the program to test. It will be useful to verify its behavior by simulation (by animation or in the timing diagram). When applicable, a test sequence is already set up in the timing diagram window and will be loaded automatically.

4.9 Solutions

A click on the icon on the left allows you to open the solution described in the text in the Deeds-McE. By clicking on the schematic on the right, it is possible to open the microprocessor system in the Deeds-Dcs with the same program already set up to simulate its behavior.
