Teaching computer science students how hardware devices work is often a very difficult process. It requires huge efforts both from the instructors and students. Although teaching the theoretical lessons and exercises is important process, the most important part of teaching hardware based courses is handon exercises since they can easily awake or asleep computer science student curiosity for hardware courses. This paper presents the continuum in evolution of a hardware based course "Microprocessors and Microcontrollers" in a software oriented curriculum. It presents the improvements realized in hands-on laboratory exercises and new teaching methodology for them. The results show that realized changes have improved the quality of grade distribution even more, and not only in hands-on lab exercises, but also in mandatory practical projects and course overall grade distribution.

Today's dynamic life has changed the traditional teaching from the classroom and laboratory based classical learning to an approach using online and distance e-Learning. Universities usually follow this trend and enable their resources as online utilities for the students. There are several ways to offer these facilities online and cloud is the most promising one when analyzing several criteria. The cloud technology provides many benefits reducing the overall cost and improving the business continuity. In this paper we present an idea how to transfer the traditional computer laboratory into a cloud based utility using open source cloud frameworks. This transformation creates a dynamic, flexible, elastic, reliable and modern laboratory that can serve the students as a tool for distance learning for many courses simultaneously. It acts on a "Lab as a Service" principle.

In the paper we present generic hardware verification structures for efficient testing of the custom processor cores in FPGA devices. Hardware verification environment consists of hardware debug structures: control machine, memory access port, input and output data buffers and interface logic. The verification structures are integrated and synthesized with the processor core under test and implemented on the FPGA device. The structures can be customized and easily integrated in the hardware development flow. A software support for the hardware verification consists of a data acquisition driver running on the server with HTML5 graphical interface. The software enables either local testing or setup of a remote laboratory for testing of the processor cores. The application of the remote laboratory in the educational process is presented. The presented hardware verification structures are optimized for testing the soft programmable processor cores and are vendor independent. The software support is based on open languages and protocols and the scripting tools enable quick customization. We present advantages of our solution compared to commercial general purpose on-chip logical analyzers. The benefit of our approach is that it can be used with the standard programmable design tools on the low cost platforms and provides two abstraction levels of debugging.
