3. Checklist

As Professor Tran-Tien Lang wrote in the previous version of this booklet: "The choice of a microprocessor and its peripheral circuits must be dictated by the analysis of the system to be created, because the system designed brings into play, on the one hand, hardware (made up of microcomputer components, processor, memories, input/output devices, and conventional electronic components) and, on the other hand, software (implemented in memory), and the boundary that separates them is not fixed. In fact, software can perform certain tasks that hardware can. In general, it is the need for speed (an essential feature of hardware) and flexibility (an essential feature of software) that will determine which tasks the hardware will have to support, and from this deduce what the software will have to do".

In view of what has been said above, we can divide the synthesis...
