C Programming

What is the scope of a bit variable (hint you may wish to try this in your code) bit variables must be global or static 13
Practical

Explain the steps required to determine the time of execution of the following code running on a 4MHz device
for(int i = 0 ; i ,= 33000 ; i++) {}

Include the setting of breakpoints, setting the sim frequency, running to first break, zero stopwatch, run to second break, note time 14
Programming

Write the declaration for an array of a char variable data which contains the following data: 0xff, 0b10101010, 234, 112, 0x34 char data[] = {0xff, 0b10101010, 234, 112, 0x34} ;

Programming

Write the statement to place the number 112 into address 254 of the EEPROM eeprom_write(254, 112) ; 16
Programming

A program has the following function prototype declared

void displayDigit (char number, char side) ;

Write a statement to display the number 7 on the right. displayDigit (7, RIGHT) ; 17

6 - Bits 8 to 13 inclusive 22
Fetch - Execute

What is the purpose of the 'Fetch - Execute' cycle check google for answer - see lecture week 4 23
Fetch - Execute

What is memory address of the 1st instruction in a program ? Address 0 24

Fetch - Execute

What causes the program counter to point to the first instruction of a program ? Power on, Reset and Watch Dog timer overflow 25
Stack

What is the purpose of the Stack ? to hold return addresses 26

Stack

How many levels of stack are available ? 8 27 Stack Does the Interrupt function use the stack a) True b) False It doesYour answer has been saved. 28
Interrupts

Which SFR's need to be set / reset to use the external interrupt - list them and their condition. // enable external interrupts, reset external interrupt flag, enable global interrupts ANSELH = 0 ; // extra code for this device to enable port B digital inputs - specifically the interrupt

TRISB0 = 1 ; // the external interrupt button is on Port B bit zero RBPU = 0 ; // enable PORTB pull ups INTEDG = 0 ; INTE = 1 ; INTF = 0 ; GIE = 1 ; 29
Global volatile

Write the declaration for a global volatile variable letter volatile char letter ; 30
RISC devices

State three features commonly found in RISC microprocessors Harvard architecture Single cycle Instructions Reduced Instruction set.
