  2. Vacuum tube computers www.williamson-labs.com/480_cpu.htm SAGE Blockhouse/Computer:10,170m2, 250 tons, houses More than 200,000 vacuum tubes @ 3,000,000 Watts

  3. Transistor Computers • 2nd Generation • From 1956 • Half a room The Harwell Dekatron Computer under restoration at the British National Museum of Computing

  4. Invention of ICs • 3rd generation IBM 360 made by ICs (1964)

  5. First microprocessors/Microcontrollers • TI TMS1000 • 4004 (from Intel) • 6800 (Motorola) TI TMS1000 (1971-1974) http://www.antiquetech.com/ Intel 4004 (1971) www.computerhistory.org PICO1 (1971) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor Motorola MC6800 (1974) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_6800

  6. Now! Vacuum tubes (1st generation) Transistors (2nd generation) 1956 ICs (3rd Gen.) 1971 Microprocessors/MCUs time

  7. General Purpose Microprocessors vs. Microcontrollers • General Purpose Microprocessors • Microcontrollers

  8. Types of Computers • Desktop computers: • E.g. PCs, tablets, and laptops • Servers • Embedded systems

  9. Most common microprocessors and MCUs 320 × 211 • 64-bit • ARM • Intel x86 • 32-bit • ARM • Intel x86 • AVR32 • PIC32 • CodeFire • PowerPC • 8-bit microcontrollers • AVR • PIC • HCS12 • 8051

  10. ARM families and Architectures

  11. Raspberry Pi • released in 2012 by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in United Kingdom • costs between $5 to $35 • as small as a credit card. • their speeds are comparable with PCs

  12. Some Raspberry Pi Boards

  13. Raspberry Pi 3 (Front view)

  14. Raspberry Pi 3 (Back view)
