3)Identify the reason that why code density plays a vital role in
programming an embedded system ? within 50 words
In embedded systems, code density matters because limited resources
demand efficiency. Denser code:
● Saves memory: Smaller code footprint frees up precious memory
for data or other functions.
● Reduces power consumption: Fewer instructions fetched and
executed means lower energy usage.
● Improves performance: Less memory pressure leads to faster
cache access and execution.
● Minimizes cost: Smaller devices and simpler production translate
to lower costs.
Therefore, maximizing code density unlocks significant advantages for
resource-constrained embedded systems.

thumb mode in arm architecture? within 50 words
Little Endian:
● Memory Layout: Least significant byte (LSB) stored first, followed
by more significant bytes.
● Data Reading: Processor reads LSB first, then shifts bytes to form
correct value.
Big Endian:
● Memory Layout: Most significant byte (MSB) stored first, followed
by less significant bytes.
● Data Reading: Processor reads MSB first, directly forming correct
value.
Key Considerations:
● Data consistency: Ensure consistent endianness across system
components for accurate communication and interpretation.
● Endianness-aware code: Use appropriate shift and byte-ordering
functions when handling multi-byte values across different endian
systems.

the ARM Keil MDK (Microcontroller Development Kit), which includes the

compiling, and debugging code.
E2) i) In GPIO peripherals ,If we remove the ADC port in the On chip
peripherals, how it will affect the circuit performance, to solve this issue
which IC should use to restart the ADC communication ?
Ans: Removing the ADC port from GPIO peripherals eliminates the
ability to interface with analog signals, impacting the circuit's capability to
convert analog data. To restore ADC functionality, consider using an
external ADC IC (Integrated Circuit) connected to the microcontroller
through GPIO pins. Devices like the MCP3008 or ADS1115 serve as
standalone ADCs, providing additional analog-to-digital conversion
channels.
ii) Identify whether below given statement is true or false and justify it.
a) GPIO pins will be used to directly control the actuators in response to
sensor readings
The statement is generally true. GPIO pins can be configured as outputs
to drive actuators, such as motors, relays, or LEDs, based on the input
received from sensors connected to other GPIO pins configured as
inputs
b) Data direction register is used to set the correspoding sensor as input
or output.
The statement is true. A Data Direction Register (DDR) is a register in
microcontrollers or microprocessors that is used to configure the
direction of data flow for individual pins. It is employed to set whether a
specific pin is configured as an input or an output.
iii) how Pic 16f1709 ic device getting powered from USB-to- UART from
the MCP22211G if we interchange the mcp 2221 tx pin into
pic16f1709Rx pin and mep22221 rx pins into PIC 161 709 tx pin, then
how both ic will get communicate each other and justify it ?
Ans: Interchanging the TX and RX pins between the MCP2221G and
PIC16F1709 would disrupt communication because UART (Universal
Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) communication relies on a specific
pin configuration. The MCP2221G's TX pin must connect to the
PIC16F1709's RX pin and vice versa. Swapping these pins would result
in a mismatched communication setup, preventing proper data
exchange. Correct pin assignment ensures that data sent by one
