    Study Notes

    • The interface is a crucial component in computers, responsible for converting digital signals from computers into real-world signals and vice versa.

    • The interface adjusts various properties of signals, such as amplitude (12v to 5v), current (amperes to milli-amperes), waveform (serial to parallel), and physical properties (analog to digital).

    • Peripherals are hardware devices that connect to the computer interface, such as keyboards, displays, and mice. Interfaces, on the other hand, are the connections and systems that allow communication between computers and peripherals.

    • Low-level programming languages, like machine language and assembly language, require in-depth knowledge of hardware, are difficult to master in complex systems, and are less necessary in many applications.

    • High-level programming languages, like BASIC and assembly language, are easier to understand, can be adjusted easily, and offer compiler protection against programmer abuse. However, they may not offer the same level of control over hardware resources and may depend on the hardware they are used with.

    • Interrupts are signals that pause the normal execution of a program to give immediate attention to a specific event, such as a hardware event or an error. They are crucial in multitasking and real-time systems, and they improve responsiveness and efficiency by allowing for immediate processing of critical events.

    • The ARM Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC) is an interrupt controller that manages interrupts from both hardware devices and software events. It handles priorities, routes interrupts to the appropriate processor core, and supports various interrupt modes.

    • The Memory Management Unit (MMU) manages the computer's virtual and physical memory by translating virtual memory addresses used by programs into physical addresses on the hardware. It allows the operating system and processor to manage the memory efficiently and provides memory protection and isolation between processes.

    • Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a feature in computer systems that allows an external DMA controller to transfer data between devices and the system memory without the CPU's involvement. It improves efficiency by allowing the CPU to focus on other tasks while the DMA controller directly handles the data transfer.

    • RAID is a data storage technology that uses multiple physical disks to provide redundancy and improve data access performance. In the case of a single disk failure, the data can be recovered from the remaining disks.

    • Level shifters are devices that convert electrical signal levels to make them compatible with other devices or circuits, often with different voltage or current requirements. They are commonly used in RS232 serial communication.

    • Parallel communication is a type of communication that sends multiple bits or bytes at the same time over a single communication channel. Serial communication, on the other hand, sends only one bit or byte at a time over a single channel.

    • Level shifters are necessary to ensure compatibility between devices with different spacing or voltage requirements. For example, they can be used to adapt the signal levels between a printer and a computer.

    • Parallel communication is typically faster than serial communication, as multiple bits can be transmitted at the same time. However, it requires a separate wire for each bit or data line, which can increase the complexity and cost of the communication system.

    • In RS-232 communication, level shifters are commonly used to adjust the signal levels between devices with different voltage requirements. They can also be used to provide electrical isolation between devices.

    • CDs are optical disks that store digital information, such as music, videos, and computer programs. Stamped CDs are made by pressing a mirror-like layer onto a blank CD. CD-RWs, on the other hand, are rewritable CDs that can be recorded and re-recorded multiple times.

    • Parallel communication uses multiple data lines to transmit data, allowing for faster data transfer. However, it requires more wires and is less flexible than serial communication.
