A Practical Introduction to Input and Output Ports

Author(s):  
David L. Tarnoff

This chapter discusses how microprocessors interact with devices. It takes the student from the basics of input and output, through the design of the interface between a processor and an external device, and concludes with a discussion of how to improve the performance of the I/O interface using interrupts. The PC parallel port is examined to give the student a chance to apply these concepts in hardware and software. Once the student has studied the material of this chapter and completed the hands-on experiments, they will be prepared to begin a study of how device drivers work within the context of an operating system.

A vagrant is a freeware tool that facilitates to easily manage and configure multiple virtual machines. The main goal of its creation is to simplify the environment maintenance in a large project with multi technical tasks. It provides the better manageability and maintainability for the developers and prevents needless maintenance and improve the productivity for development using simple functions. Vagrant supports almost all main languages for the development, but it is written in the Ruby language. Vagrant was initially supported by Virtual Box, but the version 1.1 has the full vital support for VMware, KVM and other virtualization environment as well as for the server like Amazon EC2. It supports many programming languages such as C#, Python, PHP and JavaScript to enhance the project efficiency. Recently, version 1.6 may serve as a fully virtualized operating system due to the added support for Docker containers.

Motivating students to learn TCP/IP network fundamentals is often difficult because students find the subject rather technical when it is presented using a lecture format. To overcome this problem we have prepared some hands-on exercises (practicals) that give students a practical learning experience in TCP/IP networking. The practicals are designed around a multi-user, multi-tasking operating system and are suitable for classroom use in undergraduate TCP/IP networking courses. The effectiveness of these practicals has been evaluated both formally by students and informally in discussion within the teaching team. The implementation of the practicals was judged to be successful because of the positive student feedback and that students improved their test results. This chapter describes the practicals and their impact on student learning and comprehension, based on the author’s experiences in undergraduate computer networking courses.

<p class="Default">A parallel port is an inexpensive and powerful tool for controlling the real world peripherals. It provides eight Transistor Transistor Logic (TTL) outputs, fives inputs and four bidirectional input and output for Personal Computer (PC) interruption. By using the structure oriented programming language they are fused in circuit boards, microcontrollers etc. to carry out specified functions. The reason is the elegance and simplicity of the code used in visual basic.</p><p><strong>Journal of Nepal Physical Society</strong><em><br /></em>Volume 4, Issue 1, February 2017, Page: 97-100</p>

Abstract— Literally embedded systems are defined as equipment that computes a particular job. Embedded Linux System was also developed as a means of education, one of which is ED-255EK Embedded Education Platform, designed to be very practical and consume very low power. ED-255EK is also equipped with a PXA255 processor that is compatible with ARM version 5TE ISA, so it can be used to carry out various kinds of lab work or experiments on embedded systems. The working principle of this tool begins with the configuration of data communication between Fedora Linux and ED-255EK. When the communication goes well, it is downloaded by the ED-255EK system to a laptop or computer that has been installed with the Fedora 9.0 Linux operating system. To take advantage of the ED-255FPGA module, driver module installation is required first, after which the application program is installed. Laptops or computers that have installed the Fedora 9.0 Linux operating system will act as input and output programs making it easier to monitor each module that is being run. The module used is the ARM 1923 Robot Module and Voice Module ED4321.

Point of Sales application is a system used for transaction data into the database both by input and output, so that there are no errors in input, output data, and report generation based on the corresponding data, thus it can produce accurate output data. PT Esensi Solusi Buana is a company engaged in the field of technology and information. Based on surveys and interviews with clients of PT Esensi Solusi Buana, it is obtained the information about the operating system that is still manual and less than optimal.This causes frequent errors in recording sales transaction data, archiving that still uses the traditional system, as well as access to obtain information about the transaction history that requires a lot of time. Therefore, the system to be made is an improvement of the system that was previously made for the clients of PT Esensi Solusi Buana. It is expected that with this system, it can minimize errors that may occur. This system is also expected to be able to improve the process of input, output, and report generation, which in turn can help data collection of sales transactions on the clients of PT Esensi Solusi Buana

An advanced System Software curricula at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering in Nis is presented in this paper. The system software track consists of two important themes of Computer Science and Computing in General organized now as two separated courses: Operating Systems course and System Software Development and System Programming course. Both courses offer extensive teaching of foundational concepts and principles of Operating Systems and System Programming along with design and implementation of presented topics in real operating systems and system software, such as Unix, Linux and Windows 2000/XP. Laboratory environments and exercises for both courses offer both examination of main algorithms and structures within operating systems and system software through simulation, and what is more important, hands-on experience with operating system internals and code.
