Given a real-time task set with three tasks with timing specifications as follows: Task 1: Period = Deadline = 100, Execution Time = 20; Task 2: Period = Deadline = 160, Execution Time = 70; Task 3: Period = Deadline = 260, Execution Time = 60; Assume all tasks are ready at t=0. Draw the time diagrams showing the exact sequence for each task within time interval based on the rate monotonic scheduling (RMS) and the earliest deadline first (EDF) policy. Is this task set schedulable under RM? Explain. Is this task set schedulable under EDF? Explain.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using the busy-waiting method and interrupting to handle device I/O activities.  

The three major types of processors are: , application specific processor, and general purpose processor. 

In embedded software design, the functions of a compiler are twofold: and . 

Generally, there are two types of DMA in terms of how data are transferred: and .

In pacing, threshold refers to:

Ventricular rhythm patterns in second-degree AV block types I and II are irregular. 

If an ECG rhythm strip shows a regular ventricular rhythm of 128 bpm, a regular atrial rate, one upright P wave before each QRS, a constant PR interval of 0.24 second, and a QRS duration of 0.08 second then the rhythm is: 

In pacing, sensitivity refers to:

The PR interval of a first-degree AV block:
