Spring 2009
Instructor: Victor P. Nelson
· Monday, Jan. 12: 4-5 page report on the architecture and components of a multimedia system (smart phone, music player, video game, digital television, etc.) - CPU, memory, input/output devices and interfaces, operating system, etc.
· Wednesday, Jan 21: From the end of Chapter 1, submit answers for questions Q1-6, Q1-8, Q1-9, Q1-10(part b), Q1-13, Q1-15.
· Monday, Feb. 2: From Chapter 1, update your previous solution to Q1-15, and then do Q1-16 (Collaboration diagram for the microwave oven ignore the phone interface.) From the end of Chapter 2 (ARM assembly language), do Q2-5(c), Q2-7, Q2-9, Q2-10(a), Q2-10(b). For each of these, execute the program in the Keil debugger, with DCD directives to initialize variable values. For this, you will need to either download a copy of the Keil software (link below) for your own PC, or else use one of the PCs in Broun 307 or 310.
