Microprocessors is a typical subject within the
Computer Architecture field of scope. It is quite common to use
simulators in practical sessions, due to the complexity of its
contents. In this paper a new methodology based on practical
sessions with real devices and chips is proposed. Simple designs
of microprocessors are exposed to the students at the beginning,
rising the complexity gradually toward a final design with a
multiprocessor integrated in a single FPGA chip. Finally,
assessment results are shown.
