Define:

Defining a digital system involves specifying its purpose, requirements, and constraints. This includes identifying the inputs and outputs of the system, as well as any performance requirements like speed and accuracy. Processors are listed and filtered until the right one is selected. The goal of the definition phase is to create a clear and concise set of specifications that will guide the development of the system.

Design:

Designing a digital system involves creating a detailed plan for how the system will be built. This includes the selection of hardware and software components, designing the system architecture, and creating detailed schematics and diagrams. The design phase is critical because it lays the foundation for the system's implementation and testing.

Implement:

Implementing a digital system involves actually building the system based on the design. This may involve assembling hardware components, writing software code, or both. During implementation, it is important to follow the design closely to ensure that the system is built correctly.

Test:

Testing a digital system involves verifying that the system works as intended and meets the requirements that were defined in the first phase. This includes both functional testing, which checks that the system produces the expected outputs, as well as performance testing, which measures the system's speed, reliability, and other metrics. The goal of testing is to identify and fix any issues before the system is deployed.

Optimize:

Optimizing a digital system involves making adjustments to improve its performance, reduce its power consumption, or enhance its functionality. This may involve tweaking software code, modifying hardware components, or reconfiguring the system architecture. The optimization phase is ongoing, and may continue even after the system has been deployed.
