Microprocessor/Microcomputer Software Systems: Present and Future.

Abstract

Software generation for microcomputers constitutes one of the largest hidden costs encountered by the microcomputer user. This document presents an overview of the state of the art. Several methods of programming microcomputers are outlined and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The factors which different environments (universities, laboratories, etc) should consider in order to effectively utilize these methods are discussed. The basic configuration for a minicomputer-based interactive microprocessor software development facility is presented. (The facility is operational at NELC.) Concepts are presented on the possible direction of future microprocessor/microcomputer software systems. (Author)
