1. Introduction
The following subsections provide an overview of this entire document.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to inform the readers and students of the class of the significant details and background of our project. This project is taking a Gameboy Advance System and simulating the basic algebraic and graphical function of a a TI-83 calculator system on it. The basic algebraic functions will include addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. The calculator will also be able to compute the power, sine, inverse sine, cosine, inverse cosine, tangent, inverse tangent, exponential, logarithm, natural logarithm, and square root functions; and make use of the storage and recall functions of a TI-83 calculator. The basic graphing will allow the user to input a series of functions to graph and compare. The user will also have the option to change graphing modes, just like a TI-83 calculator does.
1.2 Scope
The software products to be designed include: the virtual keyboard, graphing input and output mode,standard input mode, menus for selecting which scientific functions to compute, an options menu for changing the options on the implemented machine. The software products will be interactive with the client, in which they allow him/her to choose all of the options from the first display screen. This software will take advantage of the buttons on the Gameboy Advance machine and allow them to do the navigating through the options menu.

Software Requirements Specifications Document will feature basic algebraic calculations, simple arithmetic and graphic capabilities. Input will in done through an intuitive virtual keyboard for most of the input. Also, attachment of an auxillary keyboard to the serial port of the gameboy will also be allowed.
2.1 Product Perspective

The gameboy advance calculator will use all the hardware components of the first generation gameboy advance (GBA). All modifications done to the GBA in this project will be software and device driver based. The system will be entirely self contained, and everything that is needed for the GBA calculator to run will be built into the machine itself. The machine does require 2 AA batteries to power up. Block Diagram
GBA Calculator 2-AA batteries
2.1.1 System Interfaces 1) Arithmatic: the system will use the built in ALU to compute all the arithmetic that will be done for the calculator. 2) Upper level Calculations: The programmers of the machine will write in functions that the machine will be able to call to produce upper level calculations.
2.1.2 Interfaces 1) Virtual Keyboard :The main user interface will be through the virtual keyboard. The virtual keyboard will be keyboard that is displayed in the bottom quarter of the GBA screen. It will allow the user to input all the commands and information that is needed for the calculator to do its work

. Virtual Keyboard Mockup 2) Function List: The function list is a menu like interface that the user can pull up to input more advanced calculations like sine, cosine, logrithims and store/recalls. The importance of this menu is that it gives the calculator the ability to do scientific calculations, instead of just basic arithmetic.
Function List Mockup 3) Graphing Mode : The graphing mode of the calculator actually comes in two parts. An input mode and an output mode. Both interfaces will cover the entire screen. In the input mode, the user is allowed to enter the function that he/she will want to graph. Multiple functions will also be allowed to compare graphs. After the user inputs the functions that are needed, they can switch to an output mode, where the graph will actually be drawn.

2.1.3 Hardware Interfaces 1) Internal hardware:All hardware interfaces will be done through the GameBoy Advance. The gameboy advance as its own system of memory management and cpu scheduling. 2) Auxillary catheridge: The GBA will allow for an auxillary catheridge to be inserted to store data on. 2.1.4 Software Interfaces All software within the GBA calculator will be self programmed. A middleman from our personal computer to the GBA might be used, but at this time this program has not been specified.
2.1.5 Communications Interfaces
f
Page 8 of 22
Software Requirements Specifications Document Serial Port: The only communication device that is available to the GBA is serial port that can be used for an additional keypad. 2.1.6 Memory Constraints 1) Hardware Memory: All memory constraints will follow the specification of the first generation GBA. Specifications can be found here : http://www.gameboyadvance.com/system.jsp 2) Catridge : Gameboy Advance catridge device acts like a hard drive for saved data etc. Catridge capacity is 128k bits on the average. 2.1.7 Site Adaptation Requirements 1) No site adapatation is necessary in with this project. Because the GameBoy Advanced calculator is portable and is self contained. The entire system is transported to wherever it is needed. No external dependendancies are in place and operation of the system will never change due to location.
2.2 Product Functions

1) Arithmatic calculations : As a calculator, it seems obvious that this machine will be able to perform basic arithmetic calculations. Addition, subtraction, multiplication etc. will be done with this machine. 2) Higher level (scientific) calculations: The user will be able to use this calculator to do sine, cosine and logarithms. All calculations deemed scientific will be allowed. 3) Graphing : If the user wants to see a graphical version of functions that they input, the calculator will be able to plot multiple graphs and run graph traces.
2.3 User Characteristics

Users of this device will usually be students from the middle school level to the undergraduate college. The user will have to to know basic arithmetic (or at least how arithmetic works) to make functional use of the calculator.
2.4 Constraints
The main constraints in this project will be the hardware that the GBA will harness. The GBA provides for:
f

-32 bit RISC processor -2.9 TFT color LCD display for output -6 buttons and directional pad for input
2.5 Assumptions and Dependencies

Because everything will be coded from scratch. The only dependency that the machine will encounter are the hardware constrains that the GameBoy Advance has.
2.6 Apportioning of Requirements.

It is possible in the future that a few additional features be implemented into this system. 1) Auxillary keypad : This will allow the user to input information much faster and bypassing the virtual keypad that will be built into the operating system. 2) Integration and Differantiation: Further versions of the calculator might allow for the use of integration and differentiation for users.
3. Specific Requirements
3.1 External Interfaces
f
Page 10 of 22
Software Requirements Specifications Document This section will contain all the inputs into and outputs from the software system.
Gameboy liquid crystal display

The Gameboy Advance unit has a 2.9 TFT color LCD capable of displaying 240x160 pixels. This is the primary output for the software system and the only interface that standard users will receive output from.
Gameboy Advance standard keys

Every Gameboy Advance is supplied with a 4-directional key pad, two large face buttons, two small offset face buttons and two shoulder buttons. The user will interface with our software via all six keys and the keypad.
Virtual Keyboard
The virtual keyboard will provide standard input for a user. It will allow a user to access a 50 plus character set with a 6-button input. The virtual keyboard will be navigated via an on-screen display.
Gameboy Advance serial port

Every Gameboy Advance has a serial port designed to interface with other technology, primarily other Gameboy Advance machines.
3.2 Functions
The system shall verify that the algorithm input into the system is valid before processing. If the input sequence is valid, the algorithm processor will produce a response that will be output to the screen. If the input sequence is invalid, an error message will be displayed and the user will be prompted to correct the input.
3.3 Performance Requirements

The software will be designed to support a single user inputing a mathematical algorithm into system and will return a result of numerical value. All user variables saved in the system will be stored as 32-bit floating point values. The user will be limted to storing no more than 26 variables at one time. 98% of all algorithms input by the user into the system will be processed within one second. 90% of all graphed algorithms will be completed within a 10 second time frame.
3.4 Logical Database Requirements

The software system will hold three logical databases.
f
Page 11 of 22
Software Requirements Specifications Document The algorithm processor will parse the algorithm into a tree structure before processing. After processing the tree, the data inside will not be accessed a second time. A database will be kept to store options about the software. This database will hold integers and floats as well as boolean data. The information stored will be access at almost every possible interface with the user and by almost every internal system. The software will allow a user to store and recall values. These values will be stored in a database and will be accessed only if the user updates or requests a stored value. The input interface and the algorithm processor will access this database.
3.5 Design Constraints

All data processed and returned for display by the user will be of 32-bit floating point precision. The output of this value may or may not be truncated per user request. Data output will be limited to the Gameboy Advances LCD screen. Data input will be limited to manipulation of the Gameboy Advances standard button set. The program cartriage must stay connected at all times. 3.5.1 Standards Compliance There are no standards or regulation pertaining to the GBA format or the associated calculator design.
3.6 Software System Attributes

The input system will allow for inputing numbers, operands, special symbols and letters of the alphabet. The output will be a single numerical value in the case of a standard algorithm or a graphic in the case of a graphed algorithm. Other external devices connected to the Gameboy Advances serial port will be ignored.
3.6.1 Reliability All data storage for user variables will be commited to the database at the time of entry. All caching and system data created during the processing of algorithms or graphing will be rebuilt from scratch everytime the system is turned on. This will elimate the only possibility of data corruption: power loss during processing. If any data is corrupted
f
Page 12 of 22
Software Requirements Specifications Document through damage to the software cartriage, a default value will be assigned where applicable. 3.6.2 Availability All cached data will be rebuilt during every startup. There is no recovery of user data if it is lost. Default values of system data will be assigned when necessary. 3.6.3 Security There will be no built-in security. 3.6.4 Maintainability The user will be able to reset all options and all stored user variables to default settings. 3.6.5 Portability The algorithm processor will be implemented in standard C++ code and as suck is completely portable. All other internal systems will be specific to the Gameboy Advance platform. Each of the implementations will be coded in either modified C++ with a GBA specific API or in ARM assembly. Implementing these interal subsystems using another language is very possible without the loss of data integrity or accuracy. Porting to a lower precision processor may require special numerical calculations to meet specific guidelines.
3.7 Organizing the Specific Requirements
3.7.1 System Mode The system is designed to function on a state to state basis. There are three main states: standard input, graphing input, menu navigation. At the standard input state, a character sequence is entered via the virtual keyboard. When the user signals that the input is finished, the system processes the algorithm and outputs a result. During graphing input the user interaction is similar but there is added functionality for manipulating more than one algorithm at a time. Once the user signals done, the algorithms are processes and a graphic is produced. During menu navigation, the user is allowed to change different options pertaining to the system. The input no longer accepts the characters associated with building an algorithm
