Quran-on-Chip (QoC): An Embedded System Framework and Design for Electronic Quran Dissemination for Internet-Enabled Devices

This paper demonstrates the concept of applied and embedded system design for authentic Quran propagation within a single-chip by embedding the digital Quran content onto an ARM micro controller that provides programming and playing capabilities for the publisher/manufacturer with only playing/reading functionality for end-user devices. Significantly, such functionality can be easily deployed by integrating the Quran-on-Chip (QoC) subsystem within future multimedia product designs or via USB communications for present devices. Quran multimedia content is embedded/programmed using the Embedded-C language, with the advantage that the developed program is also compatible for embedding in other micro controller architectures. Significantly, this paper presents a complete framework for the QoC design approach with the results of implementation being demonstrated. Finally, an outlook into the prospect of embedded-system design for multimedia Quran dissemination shall be explored with comments on challenges and opportunities for future work.
