I/O TYPES
• An I/O device can be connected to an embedded board via a wired or
wireless data transmission medium such as a keyboard or remote
control or can be located on the embedded board itself, such as an LED.
• Because I/O devices are so varied, ranging from simple circuits to other
complete embedded systems, board I/O components can fall under one
or more of several different categories, the most common including:
• Networking and communications I/O (the physical layer of the OSI model)
• Input (keyboard, mouse, remote control, vocal, etc.)
• Graphics and output I/O (touch screen, CRT, printers, LEDs, etc.)
• Storage I/O (optical disk controllers, magnetic disk controllers, magnetic tape
controllers, etc.)
• Debugging I/O (BDM, JTAG, serial port, parallel port, etc.)
• Real-time and miscellaneous I/O (timers/counters, analog-to-digital converters and
digital-to-analog converters, key switches, and so on)
SERIAL VS. PARALLEL I/O
• Board I/O that can transmit and receive data in serial is made up of
components in which data (characters) are stored, transferred, and
received one bit at a time.
• Serial I/O hardware is typically made up of some combination of
the six main logical units outlined at the start of the chapter. Serial
communication includes within its I/O subsystem a serial port and a
serial interface
