Summary Analyze several different patents and determine if our project infringes in any way. software development status brief overview of the software design considerations explicit (detailed) mappings of memory (locations for static data, variables, stack, heap, code, etc. in SRAM/EEROM/Flash), mapping of external interfaces (port names/addresses), utilization of integrated peripherals (including operating modes/register initializations required), Include a flowchart (or pseudo-code) that depicts the flow/activity of your “main” program (place this illustration in Appendix A). Also, indicate any provisions you have made for debugging and/or “built-in self-test” modes of operation. overall organization of application code (e.g., interrupt-driven, state machine, polling loop, etc.). Include the rationale for choosing the application code organization indicated. illustrate the hierarchical arrangement of the various code modules you are writing and/or adapting (from commercially available or “shareware” sources). Include this diagram as Appendix B.

Updated PSSCs An ability to detect a user based on RFID and determine which user has priority, displaying the user's identity on an LCD. An ability to adjust the light intensity to match a user’s settings through X10 protocol. An ability to adjust a television set or other HDMI device using CEC- HDMI protocol, to a user's preferred settings. (ON/OFF, Channel, Volume) An ability to unlock a door when an acceptable RFID is present. An ability to select/set preferred settings through an embedded web server and the ability to save the "light settings" with the press of a button.
