Question 1 [20 marks]
Embedded systems are computer-based systems defined by their simple interface. Identify
2 systems on the market & analyse their interfaces. Describe all inputs to & outputs from
each system. Classify inputs & outputs based on their mode of interaction: Visual: data
carried by visible light; Audio: data carried by sound; Tactile: data carried by touch:
Electronic: data encoded in electrical signals
Instructions
Identify two embedded systems which are sold on the market today and analyse their
interfaces.
i. Describe all inputs to each system and outputs from each system. 5marks
ii. Classify the inputs and outputs based on their mode of interaction: 5marks
Visual - describing data carried by visible light
Audio - describing data carried by sound
Tactile - describing data carried by touch
Electronic - describing data encoded in electrical signals
iii. For each input and output, estimate the rate at which data is transferred in any units
that seem appropriate. For example, a video game with a screen might output video
data at 24 frames per second. 5 marks
iv. Estimate the “response time” of the system for different inputs. That is, what is the
time between when the system receives input and the system responds to that
input? For example, a digital camera might take a picture after a button is pressed.
The response time would be the time between pressing the button and taking the
picture. Explain how you made your estimation. 5 marks
Deliverable:
i. Please submit the solution using this same MS word file on LMS until 20 th October 12
PM afternoon.
ii. Please submit the hard copies of the solved assignment on 20 th October 12 until 4 pm
in office A-203 faculty block
This is an individual assignment and No submission will be accepted after the deadline.
