An Embedded Software Primer A.Answers to Selected Problems Copyright ? Addison Wesley Longman, 1999 Answers to Problems  This file contains answers to some of the problems that appear at the end of the chapters in the text. A.1 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 contains no problems. A.2 Chapter 2 1. The program for an intelligent VCR should probably be stored in masked ROM. That form of memory is the cheapest, which will probably be the most important consideration of product of which you hope to sell this many copies. A user-configurable name for a network printer should remember even if the power fails probably be stored either in flash memory or in EEROM. Both of these memories will remember the data when the power is turned off. Since is unlikely that the user will change in the name more can be a few dozen times, the limitations on writing to flash memory will probably not be a problem. Particularly if the program for the microprocessor in the printer is in flash memory anyway, flash might be a good choice. The program for a beta version of almost anything should probably be either in PROM, EPROM, or flash memory. The likelihood is that you will want to change the program, and these forms of memory make that possible. Most beta tests require few enough units that cost should not be an issue. The data that your program just received from the network has to be in RAM. Your program is probably allowed to forget this data if the power fails, and the ability to read and write this data quickly is probably the most important concern. 2. The output for a three-input AND gate is high if the three inputs are high and low otherwise. Therefore the truth table looks like this: Input 1 Input 2 Input 3 Output  High High High  High High Low  High Low High  High Low Low  Page A-1 An Embedded Software Primer Answers to Problems  High Low Low Low Low  Low High High Low Low  Low High Low High Low  Low Low Low Low Low  3.
