1the course does not assume prior knowledge of computer hardware and the material can be understood without the need of prerequisites. However, understanding the basics of digital systems like digital devices ( Flip Flops, Registers, Counters, … Etc) and digital circuits design must is a prior need. Also some experience in assembly language programming with microcomputers will make the material easier to understand.
