Consider the following hypothetical microprocessor. Assume this processor uses a 32-bit address and 32-bit data bus. Consider a 4-bit I/O port number. How many 16-bit I/O ports can be supported?
Given,
I/O Port number is of 4 bits.
Number of input ports the microprocessor support with 4 bit I/O ports = 24 = 16. So microprocessor can support 16 16-bit input ports and 24 = 16 16-bit output ports.

Q2. (4 pts) A certain microprocessor (uP) has a 37-bit address bus and a 32-bit wide data bus. Here, similar to Q1, we are using byte packing, that is, we should be able to access each byte in the memory. Assume that you are using a memory chips organized as 128K by 8 bits. Q2-1.Divide the 37-bit address lines into page number bits, offset bits and byte address bits. Q2-2.How many 128K by 8 memory devices would you need to...

On a typical microprocessor, a distinct I/O address is used to refer to the I/O data registers and a distinct address for the control and status registers in an I/O controller for a given device. Such registers are referred to as ports. In the Intel 8088, two I/O instruction formats are used. In one format, the 8-bit opcode specifies an I/O operation; this is followed by an 8- bit port address. Other I/O opcodes imply that the port address is...
