Question

Fill in the letter that specifies the definition for each word. (Definition on next page) Definitions for assignment 0.1 Memory that is nonvolatile and contains machine instructions (code) Component of the processor that performs arithmetic and logic operations. C Mechanism for storing multiple byte numbers such that the least significant byte exists first (in the smallest memory address). D Mechanism for storing multiple byte numbers such that the most significant byte exists first (in the smallest memory address). Link register containing the return address when calling a function (subroutine). A set of digital signals that connect the CPU, memory and I/O devices, consisting of address signals, data signals and control signals. See also address bus, control bus and data bus. G A register in the processor that points to the memory containing the instruction to execute next. H Digital information containing 8 bits. I A single chip microcomputer like the Texas Instruments MSP430. J A physical/electrical mechanism for data to flow into or out of the microcontroller K Stack pointer l A description of a processor that details the machine code, the instruction set, addressing modes, and how data are accessed. M A system that performs a specific dedicated operation where the computer is hidden inside the machine. N Input/output with many bits sent at the same time. O Input/output that sends one bit at a time. P Digital information containing 32 bits. Q An electronic device that converts analog signals (e.g., voltage) into digital form (i.e., integers). R Digital information containing 64 bits. S Includes a processor, RAM, ROM, and I/O ports. T Digital information containing 16 bits. U A system can guarantee a worst case upper bound on the response time between when the new input information becomes available and when that information is processed. V A condition where information is lost when power is removed. W A subset from which linear combination of the elements can be used to construct the entire set. Y a set of software functions that facilate the use of an I/O port. Z 1024 bytes or 8192 bits, abbreviated KiB.

Explanation / Answer

The mappings done so far are correct, please find the remaining mappings:

1. Instruction Set Architecture (ISA): A description of the processsor that details the machine code, the instruction set, addressing modes, and how data are accessed.

Correct Mapping: ( L )

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. R13: Used as poiner to the active stack. Stack Pointer (SP)

Correct Mapping: ( K )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. R15: Program Counter (PC) , a shortcut for writting R15. A register in the processor that points to the memory containing the instruction to execute next

Correct Mapping: ( G )

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Real Time: A system can guarantee a worst case upper bound on the response time between when the new input information becomes available and when that information is processed

Correct Mapping: ( U )
