Based upon my experience in teaching a microcomputer SDK-86 based interfacing course, a hardware/software design project was chosen. The SDK-86 allows easy access to the system bus. The necessary lines are cabled to a solderless breadboard design station. The presence of switches, pulsers and LEDs on the design station enables one to do manual validation of the hardware interface. These features facilitate rapid prototyping of the hardware interface. All input and output devices are treated as IO ports. The SDK-86 has on-board serial communication capability with an RS-232C port. Software can be developed on a PC and downloaded to the SDK computer. This feature allows rapid prototyping of the software component of the project. The question still remained: "What is a viable design project?".
