IMPLEMENTING HANDS-ON ARMV8 INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES IN COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION: A CASE STUDY

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, computer architecture education plays a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of engineers and computer scientists. As ARM-based systems gain prominence across various domains, it becomes imperative to equip students with practical know ledge of ARMv8 architecture. In this study, we explore the integration of hands-on ARMv8 learning experiences using the Orange Pi 5 Plus single-board computer and virtual Linux environments. Our findings highlight the effectiveness of this approach in enhancing students’ understanding of low-level programming and system design.
