Links and Resources

Printing

• How to print a text file (pure ASCII, not an MS Word document) from a beowulf account to the printer @ FH354:

  cprint -15  myFile.txt

• How to print a pdf from a beowulf account to the printer @ FH354:

  lpr -P ford354 max232.pdf

• How to print an image to the same printer, from a beowulf account:

  convert myImage.jpg  myImage.pdf
  lpr -P ford354 myImage.pdf

Programs

• A Python program that generates a truth table.

Software

PSpice 9

• Pspice 9, Student version. An nice alternative to drawing schematics by hand.
• This is a Windows version. (I have tried to make it work under wine/Mac OS X but haven't been able to make it load the libraries correctly)
• Make sure you select the schematics option when installing the software.
• Select Tools/Schematics when starting the editor
• The schematics editor is located in C:\Program Files\OrCAD_Demo\PSpice\PDesign.exe upon installation.
• Download here!
• PSpice Tutorial

Integrated Circuit Data-Sheets

• Java Applets demonstrating most logical gates
• Texas Instruments and Harris Semiconductors' Data Sheet Search Engine
• Fairchild Semiconductors' Data Sheet Search Engine

Motorola 68HC11 Documentation

• Good source of info on the 6811.
• 6811 FAQs.
• The official Motorola | 68HC11A8 Data Sheet. Fairly cryptic...
• A Motorola 6811 Manual. It is a nicely written refresher on many concepts of assembly language applied to the 6811.
  • Check Section 3.2 on addressing modes (inherent, direct, extended, indexed, relative).
  • Get a refresher for the different instruction types (arithmetic, shifts, control, etc) in Section 3.4.
  • The condition code register is covered in Section 3.5.
• M68HC11 Technical Reference, Motorola
  • Section 6.5 shows the instructions in logical groups.
• M68HC11 Pocket Reference.
  • Very useful, on Page 15, a list of all the opcodes supported by the 6811, in numerical (hex) order.
• 68HC11A8 Technical Reference: a hardware and engineering description. of the 6811, its ports, and how it operates.
  • See Section 10 for a cycle-by-cycle description of the execution of each instruction.
  • See Appendix A, Figure A-14 for the timing diagram of a typical (multiplexed expansion) memory access.
• Heathkit ETW3800 Trainer manual (pdf)
