are based on the concepts studied in selected earlier works (Darche 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2012), which I recommend reading beforehand.

      Introduction

      The two preceding volumes respectively addressed the hardware and software characteristics of the microprocessor. This last volume complements them by focusing on the software development chain and on development and testing tools. The final chapter in this book, which is also Part 2, presents structural changes in the first generations of microcomputers.

PART 1

      The first part of this last volume is divided into two chapters. The first presents the software development chain, and the second illustrates the hardware and software tools used in development and testing.
