Final Design Assignment
Overview
The final design laboratory concerns the implementation of a general laboratory test instrument (GLTI) that is capable of a wide range of function generation and signal analysis tasks.
The challenge involved is to realise the design specification as an embedded application, running in ``real time'', on a development board employing the Mitusbishi M16C microcontroller. This is a 16-bit microprocesser with 16MHz clock rate, and features 256k of internal flash RAM, 20k of internal RAM, and 87 programmable digital I/O lines. It also features on-chip programmable timers, serial I/O, A/D and D/A converters.
See the Mitsubishi M16C homepage maintained in our School for more detail about this platform.
Detailed Specification
Detailed specification for your design assignment, the hardware you will be required to use, and how you will be assessed are provided in the Final Design Laboratory document. A final report is required.
micro-C real time OS port
It is not essential that you use a real time operating system in your solution in order to obtain a passing grade of 55 per cent. However, as detailed in Final Design Laboratory , to obtain a mark approaching the top end of those awarded, the use of the micro-C OS is necessary, and for this purpose the Mitsubishi M16C port of the OS is required. The homepage associated with this operating system may be of interest.
