Critical Design Review (CDR) •Requirements: • Prepare your CDR presentation in PowerPoint form and provide a copy of the presentation and any supporting data/information on a Readable only CD (CD-R). This should be provided to the instructor at the time of your presentation. Should you not have access to CD-Rs or facilities, please see the course instructor. • Bring hard copies of the Presentation to the meeting. Make copies for the instructor, as well as both TA's. • All members of the team are expected to take an active role in the presentation. • The presentation should not take more than 30 minutes and is expected to be professional, and rehearsed. •CDR presentation: • The main objective of the CDR is to present the complete design of the system and to describe how the system is going to be implemented. Therefore, the CDR Presentation will include: • A system block diagram with a functional description of parts and interfaces • Complete specifications and detailed design of each subassembly, including circuit and logic diagrams, labeled parts, interfaces and pinouts, timing diagrams and waveforms • Description of software processes with their inputs and outputs • Test results and demo of completed parts of the system (if any) • Parts list • Updated detailed schedule with planned deliverables for Milestone 1, Milestone 2, and the final Open-Lab Expo. • Updated division of labor and responsibilities: who is going to do what? 6/27/2016 1 Contents 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.
