4917emu Micro Processor Emu 5.0.0

The app aims to introduce users to the fundamental principles of computer operation through hands-on coding exercises. Designed as an educational tool, it seeks to explain how a microprocessor functions by providing simulated microcontroller programming experiences. Users can explore the workings of a hypothetical microprocessor, 4917emu, which was utilized in the COMP1917 course at the University of New South Wales, to facilitate understanding of microprocessor basics.

4917emu is a simplified 4-bit microprocessor model featuring 16 memory locations and four registers: Instruction Pointer (IP), Instruction Store (IS), and General Registers R0 and R1. Each memory location can hold values from 0 to 15, with a total of 16 instruction types available, including an Extended Instruction Code set. As an example, the app demonstrates a machine code program that outputs numbers from zero to 15: 8 0 3 11 1 15 0.

This educational tool provides an engaging way to learn about low-level computing concepts. Users are encouraged to engage with the interface and experiment with coding in this simulated environment. Supportive feedback via app ratings and reviews is appreciated to improve future iterations.
