Submission Guidelines
· All work must be submitted on Moodle by the due date along with a title Page.
· The assignment must be in MS Word format, 1.5 spacing, 11-pt Cali
i (Body) font and 2.54 cm margins on all four sides of your page with appropriate section headings.
· Reference sources must be cited in the text of the report, and listed appropriately at the end in a reference list using IEEE referencing style.

Assignment Description
This an individual assignment. The assignment consists of three parts. The detailed description of each part is given in following sections.
A. Computer Organisation & Architecture, Embedded Systems, and Applications [20 Marks]
1. What is RAID (redundant a
ay of independent disks)? Report the working mechanism of RAID. Briefly discuss RAID levels. Differentiate between hardware RAID and software RAID.
2. Why are inte
upts used in a computer? Highlight the drawbacks of disabling inte
upts? Give an appropriate example.
3. Discuss the importance of embedded systems in industry. Discuss one application enabled with embedded systems.
B. Arithmetic & Logic Operations, and Electrical Primitives [30 Marks]
1. With a detailed step-by-step process, convert the following decimal numbers into binary, IEEE754 16 bits and Hexadecimal formats.
i. -193.nn XXXXXXXXXXwhere nn represents last two digits of your MIT ID) ii. 1/(m.3 XXXXXXXXXXwhere m represents the last digit of your MIT ID)
2. Construct the digital circuit with Logisim (or another online simulator) for following expression. The circuit has one output F and three inputs A, B, and C. Also write the truth table.
F = ((A. B) + C̅)((A̅ ⊕ B) + C)(A̅ + B + C̅)
3. Explain Ohm’s law with the help of a graph. Two 24V Batteries in series, are connected to three resistors which are in parallel. Values of the resistors are 12, 18 and 24 ohms. Draw the circuit diagram for this scenario. Find the cu
ent flowing through the circuit.
C. Reflective Journal [5 Marks]
Write a reflective journal descripting your experience with Platform Technologies (BN103) in T2 2022 covering the period of eleven weeks (from week 1 to week 11). You must reflect upon your learning experience so far.
D. References [5 Marks]
Must consider at least 06 cu
ent references from journal/conference papers and books. Must follow IEEE style.
Submission Guidelines
· Do not use Wikipedia as a source or a reference.
· Make sure you properly reference any diagram/graphics used in the assignment.
