Welcome to CS130! This class is known as "Computer Organization". In this course, you will be covering aspects of "lower-level" computer programming. You will also be carrying over your C++ skills from your last class but you won't be using it that much here. You will also cover ARM assembly language.

Each of you are assigned one of four lab sessions. Unlike in CS102, these labs are 1 hour and 55 minutes long. If you are in the first section, I am assisting the primary TA (Anna) of that section. If you are in the third section, you are in my section.

Office Hours:
Min H. Kao Building
Room 416

Monday: 12:30 - 14:30

This section will have links to guides or documentation that I write and find valuable for this course. Typically it's for common issues I notice among students. Check frequently!

• Installing Arduino IDE (Windows)
• Introduction to the Terminal

In lab, I may write various example programs on a projector or write concepts on the board. I archive every file from every lab session, and may put them up online (depending on the material). I do not post lab solutions.

Each module below will have tags that will let you to tell what content is in them. Here are the possible tags you may find:

Mini-Guides	Mini-guides on concepts that you will use in each lab.
Template Code	Template code that is for the assignment is given.
Simulator	There is a simulator to compare your code results to.
Lab Hints	There are lab instructions, procedures, suggested development order, or hints.
Side Files	There are files on file.claranguyen.me for that module. These are "SIDE" files, which may be miscellaneous programs, notes, or board drawings. As such they may help you on the lab assignment, but they may not.
None	No guide available.

Just a heads up: Do not rely on me writing guides. I may write them... And I may not. I recommend taking notes just in case. There may not even be a lab guide. In that case, the module will be greyed out and unclickable.
