Ask if anyone knows how a MAC/PC/SmartPhone/TV/copier/printer/server/etc
work together?
How the USB1/2/3/etc interfaces with all of them? Why it took off
where serial/parallel/etc cable communications didn't?
How SCSI/FireWire/USB differ?
How cache is different from RAM...is different from disc?
What is the difference between first level cache...vs...second level
cache...vs...third level cache ? Why they are where they are and
that 'distance' has an affect on performance? Are there more levels?
How the now old platter HDD is being replaced with flash memory?
Know what flash memory is? Know the difference between volatile and non-volatile?
How your computer works with the monitor?
How your computer communicates with *ALL* of its sub-systems and
*ALL* of the various components?
How your computer uses all of the inputs...from sound/phonetics/and
other tactical/serial/parallel/HDMI/etc, etc, etc ?
Do you understand what master slave means?
Do you understand what *INDUSTRIAL* real time means?
And a whole bunch of ETC, ETC, ETC, etc...
Because of the desire to have everything "HIGHLY INTEGRATED" has
the OEMs provide what their buyers asked for...and is now more
a computer than auto...more mini factory, needing an understanding
of process control, than auto...
So a must have an understanding of most of the stuff listed above
AND more to be able to discuss this topic and other topics concerning
autmotive computers today
AND....a deeper understanding of it all if you wish to diagnose it...
AND...an even deeper understanding of it all if you wish to fix it...
