The chip manufacturer (Intel or Motorola) helped effective delivery of suchcourses by creating and sharing information related to their microprocessor development kit(MCS85, MEK6800), which served to provide practical hands-on experience to the students.The stability and professional acceptance of a microprocessor family often decided thepopularity of their coverage in educational courses
