    The document is the midterm exam for an embedded systems course. It provides instructions for the exam - it is an open paper exam lasting 60 minutes. Students must keep only the paper textbook and stationary at their desk and put other items like communication devices near the whiteboard. The exam consists of 5 problems related to embedded systems topics like data types, peripheral clock configuration, LCD addressing, asynchronous communication framing, and timer delay calculation. Students must answer in English and can take the problem sheet with them after submitting their answer sheet.

    Problem One (10 points)


    What is the most appropriate ISO C99 data type required to represent your university number? Justify.

    Solution:
    Selected data type must be:
    Unsigned: since university number can’t be negative.
    With smallest range that includes the maximum possible university number, which is 299999999, since
    university numbers consist of 9 decimal digits where the maximum leftmost digit is 2 and remaining 8 digits
    may reach 99999999. This saves memory.

    The most appropriate ISO C99 data type that satisfies the above constrains is uint32_t. It is unsigned, has a
    size of 4 bytes, and has a range from 0 to 4,294,967,295.

    Problem Two (10 points)


    Write a single C statement, using Keil MDK-ARM syntax, to enable clock of port A and disable clock of port
    E without affecting clocks of other peripherals.

    Solution:
    Mask to enable clock of port A = 0x2000
    Mask to disable clock of port E = 0xDFFF = ~0x2000
    SIM->SCGC5 = (SIM-> SCGC5 | 0x200) & ~0x2000;

    Problem Three (10 points)


    For a 20×4 LCD, find the address command required to move the cursor to the 15th location of third line,
    assuming that the leftmost position of a line is the first location of that line.

    Solution:
    Distance between 15th location and 1st location = 15 – 1 = 14 = 0xE
    Address command of first location of 3rd line = 0x94.
    Address command of the 15th location = 0x94 + 0xE = 0xA2.
    Problem Four (10 points)
    Assume asynchronous communication is used with one stop bit and odd parity. Draw the frame required to
    send a character whose ASCII code is 0x42.

    Solution:

    0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1
    Space Stop Parity D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 Start mark

    Problem Five (10 points)


    Calculate the maximum delay that can be achieved using the low power timer (LPTMR) of ARM KL25Z.
    Assume that the source clock is 32.768 KHz.

    Solution:
    Counter clock frequency = system clock / prescalar = 32.768 × 103 / 65536 = 0.5 Hz
    One count period = 1 / Counter clock frequency = 1 / 0.5 = 2 sec.
    Maximum delay = One count period × (maximum MOD value + 1) = 2 × 65536 = 131072 secs
    = 2184.53 mins
    = 36.41 hours
    = 1.517 days
