Subsystem interfacing:

With external systems user interfacing, Serial I/O devices, Parallel port interfaces: Input switches, Key boards and Memory interfacing. [Textbook -1]

Course Outcomes:

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

• Identify the Embedded system components.
• Apply technological aspects to various interfacing with devices.
• Elaborate various design trade-offs.
• Apply software aspects and programming concepts to the design of Embedded System.
• Explain how to interface subsystems with external systems.

Question paper pattern:

• The question paper will have ten full questions carrying equal marks.
• Each full question will be for 20 marks.
• There will be two full questions (with a maximum of four sub- questions) from each module.
• Each full question will have sub- question covering all the topics under a module.
• The students will have to answer five full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
