Arising from the need to help students learn commercial assembly language programming more easily, Edulent microprocessor has evolved into an integrated educational tool. It is completely designed, developed, and verified targeting field‐programmable gate array (FPGA) and system on chip (SoC) implementations. Its evolution started almost two decades ago with a formal specification, continued through various implementations (both hardware and software) fulfilling several, mainly educational requirements. The educational impact on acquiring core learning outcomes in microprocessor architecture and assembly language programming is evaluated and assessed based on several questionnaires and results of laboratory assignments. The latest FPGA and SoC‐based implementations have shown further potential for students to acquire new knowledge in the field of microprocessor design, implementation, and verification.

教育微处理器的演变

由于需要帮助学生更轻松地学习商业汇编语言编程，Edulent 微处理器已经发展成为一种集成的教育工具。它是针对现场可编程门阵列 (FPGA) 和片上系统 (SoC) 实现而完全设计、开发和验证的。它的演变始于大约 20 年前的正式规范，通过各种实现（硬件和软件）继续发展，以满足几个主要是教育要求。对获得微处理器体系结构和汇编语言编程核心学习成果的教育影响是根据几份问卷和实验室作业的结果进行评估和评估的。
