Features: A good book can be a reader's mentor and friend, helping them enter a new field of knowledge. It enables readers to go from knowing very little about microprocessors to proficiently mastering microprocessor interface technology and assembly software design, and to develop embedded hardware and software. This textbook, revised six times and widely used in foreign universities, can truly be considered such a book. Through long-term teaching practice and refinement, it has been updated and improved multiple times, integrating new knowledge while removing outdated content. From material selection and knowledge point configuration to the hierarchical structure of the narrative, it is both profound and accessible, complete and harmonious, with a strong emphasis on practicality. Today, microprocessors and PCs have permeated all aspects of modern society's production and life, with a vast number of embedded application systems emerging. There is a growing demand for technical talents who can skillfully complete low-level hardware and software development and research. Through decades of teaching and research in embedded computer science, the author has found that cultivating such talents requires more effort than training pure software professionals. Whether directly trained in computer science or switching from other fields, one must master low-level hardware and software design to lay a solid foundation for future development. For this reason, the author translated this book, hoping it can play a positive role in promoting the cultivation of microcomputer application system development capabilities and addressing the shortcomings of domestic textbooks. The features of this book are: 1. Practical, broad, and advanced material, covering the teaching requirements and knowledge points of microcomputer principles, assembly language, and interface communication technology. It aligns well with upstream and downstream courses and meets domestic teaching standards. 2. Clear focus, concise concepts, and in-depth yet accessible explanations. It can be studied systematically or selectively, making it suitable for readers of all levels. 3. Each chapter outlines its learning objectives and explains working principles with examples, followed by summaries and exercises, making it suitable for both teaching and self-study. 4. Many of the examples provided in the book can serve as templates or prototypes for readers to develop similar applications, guiding them to creatively develop new applications. 5. The appendix provides reference materials for designing and debugging assembly language programs. Throughout the book, readers will find it to be a highly practical textbook, helping them solve real-world problems in learning and development, and enabling them to flexibly utilize various microcomputer resources. This is a textbook that organically integrates microcomputer principles, assembly language programming, and PC interface communication technology. The book first introduces the development of microprocessors, related basic concepts, and the representation and storage of information in computers. It then discusses the organization structure of Intel microprocessors, assembly language programming methods, and mixed programming techniques between C/C++ and assembly. Next, the book explores the composition structure of PCs, detailing various I/O device memory interface technologies, including interrupts, DMA, buses, and arithmetic coprocessors and MMX technology. The final chapters comprehensively introduce the core technologies and features of microprocessors from 80186 to Pentium4. The book explains working principles with examples, provides summaries and exercises, making it suitable for both teaching and self-study. Additionally, many of the examples provided can serve as templates or prototypes for readers to develop similar applications, guiding them to creatively develop new applications. The appendix also provides reference materials for designing and debugging assembly language programs. This book can be used as a textbook for computer science, communication, and automatic control majors in colleges and universities, as well as a reference for engineering technicians.
