Describing Two Embedded Systems Peer Graded Assignment

The document analyzes and compares the interfaces of two embedded systems: a washing machine and air conditioner. It identifies the hardware, software, inputs and outputs of each system. The inputs and outputs are classified by their mode of interaction as visual, audio, tactile or electronic. Data transfer rates and system response times are then estimated for each input and output. The response time for both systems to respond to inputs is estimated to be one second, based on visual observation of how quickly they react when used.

Assignment week-2

Name-Muskan Agarwal

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Identify two embedded systems that are sold on the market today and analyze their interfaces.

Solution
Example 1: Washing Machine A washing machine from an embedded systems point of view has:

 Hardware: Buttons, Display& buzzer, electronic circuitry.


 Software: It has a chip on the circuit that holds the software which drives controls & monitors the various
operations possible.
 Mechanical Components: the internals of a washing machine which actually washes the clothes control
the input and output of water, the chassis itself.

Example 2: Air Conditioner An Air Conditioner from an embedded systems point of view has:

 Hardware: Remote, Display & buzzer, Infrared Sensors, electronic circuitry.


 Software: It has a chip on the circuit that holds the software which drives controls & monitors the various
operations possible. The software monitors the external temperature through the sensors and then releases
the coolant or suppresses it.
 Mechanical Components: the internals of an air conditioner the motor, the chassis, the outlet, etc
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe all inputs to each system and outputs from each system.

Solution
1.Washing Machine

 Inputs: Buttons, electronic circuitry


 Outputs: Display, Buzzer, Water

2. Air conditioner

 Inputs: Remote, IR sensors, electronic circuitry


 Outputs: water, cool air, display
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Classify the inputs and outputs based on their mode of interaction:

-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

Solution

1.Washing Machine

 Visual: Display, water


 Audio: Buzzer
 Tactile: Buttons, water

2. Air conditioner

 Visual: Display, water


 Audio: Buzzer
 Tactile: Remote, Buttons, water
 Electronic: IR sensors, electronic circuitry
PROBLEM STATEMENT

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

Solution
The buttons and remotes in both transfers single data per second.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
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.

Solution
Response time is also one second only and estimation is made visually watching both the devices
