2. High Speed Digital Systems Lab2 Abstract  A software oriented project, based on B. Zilber & A.Rosenberg PDA device.  The project main goals are to design and implement two management control systems.  The 1 st is an embedded managements system based on Keypad/LCD interfaces.  The 2 nd application is a Windows based desktop management system that utilizes the PDA USB interface as the communication and control pipe between the application and the PDA device. The development of the USB interface both on the embedded system and as a PC driver was also incorporated within this project scope.

3. High Speed Digital Systems Lab3 Embedded Management Application  Structured code redesign introducing OOP and layered hierarchy. Adding Hardware abstraction layer & board support package Adding Hardware abstraction layer & board support package Generic device drivers Generic device drivers  Unified Processing layer - Increase system stability All external & internal interfaces inputs a parsed and updated via a single processing layer thus increasing system stability. All external & internal interfaces inputs a parsed and updated via a single processing layer thus increasing system stability. Generic system commands - Every device configuration / information extraction is by filling generic command data structure and executes via a single interface.

6. High Speed Digital Systems Lab6 Summary and Conclusions  System design must include software expected needs. Parallel RAM would increase device capabilities dramatically. Parallel RAM would increase device capabilities dramatically. Several CPU IO pins could be mapped in such a way that would simplify software development time and effort. Several CPU IO pins could be mapped in such a way that would simplify software development time and effort.  Software Architectural design helps reduce development time, improve system stability and robustness.  Embedded Applications requires tighter considerations to hardware, program & data space. One should spend enough time designing before implementing.  Embedded Application developers must have deep understanding of both software & hardware aspects.
