15CS 563 EMBEDDED SYSTEM
Assignment for Module 1
Date of Submission: 22-9-2017
1. Classify the embedded systems into small scale, medium scale and sophisticated systems. Now,
reclassify these embedded systems with and withou t real-time (response time constrained)
systems and give 10examples of each.
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the following? (a) a processor with only a fixed-point
arithmetic unit and (b) a processor with additional floating-point arithmetic processing unit,
3. What are the techniques of power and energy management in a system?
4. What do you mean by 'real time' and 'real time clock'?
5. What is the role of processor reset and system reset?
6. Explain the need of watchdog tinier and reset after the watched time.
7. Why do we use a loader in a computer system and a locator in an embedded system?
8. When is the compressed program and data in ROM used? Give five examples of embedded systems
having these in their ROM images
9. What do we mean by the following: physical device, virtual device, plug and play device, bus self -
powered device, device management and device -specific processor.
10. List the software tools needed in designing each of the embedded system Camera, mobile
phone and robot.
11. Justify the use of phy sical and virtual devicesdrivers in embedded systems.
12. List the memory units and processor needed in a smart card.
