Embedded Systems and Raspberry Pi - Questions & Answers

a) Define an Embedded system.


An embedded system is a dedicated system for specific tasks.

b) Which processor is used in Raspberry Pi?


Raspberry Pi uses Broadcom ARM-based processors.

c) What is the difference between Lists and Tuples?


Lists are mutable, while tuples are immutable.

d) What is the use of the 'time' function?


The `time` function returns the current time in seconds.

e) How is the physical numbering scheme selected on Raspberry Pi?


It depends on the Raspberry Pi board's pin configuration.

f) Write the use of the GSM module.


GSM modules enable mobile communication and SMS services.

a) State the use of UART in communication.


UART is used for serial communication between devices.

b) What does the term flexibility mean related to SoCs?


Flexibility in SoCs allows customization for various applications.

c) State the role of the watchdog module in SoCs.


A watchdog resets the system if it becomes unresponsive.

d) What is the use of the 'print str[0]' instruction in Python?


Prints the first character of the string `str`.

e) List any two standard datatypes in Python.


Integers and strings are standard Python data types.

f) State the use of the 'GPIO.cleanup()' function.


`GPIO.cleanup()` resets GPIO pins to default state.

a) State any two characteristics of an embedded system.


Embedded systems are real-time and have limited resources.

b) What is SoC?
SoC (System on Chip) integrates CPU, memory, and peripherals.

c) State any two features of Raspbian OS.


Raspbian OS is lightweight and optimized for Raspberry Pi.

d) List the logical operators in Python.


`and`, `or`, and `not` are logical operators in Python.

e) What is the significance of the GPIO.cleanup() function?


`GPIO.cleanup()` prevents GPIO pin conflicts.

f) State applications of PIR sensors.


PIR sensors detect motion and are used in security systems.

a) What is FPGA?
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a reconfigurable chip.

b) What is the use of a crystal oscillator in SoCs?


A crystal oscillator provides a stable clock signal.

c) List any two operators in Python.


Arithmetic and comparison operators are used in Python.

d) State the use of the HDMI port in Raspberry Pi.


The HDMI port transmits video and audio signals.

e) What is the use of the 'ord(x)' instruction in Python?


`ord(x)` returns the ASCII value of character `x`.

f) State the significance of the pull-down resistor in LED interfacing to Raspberry Pi.
Pull-down resistors ensure LEDs remain off when inactive.
