+===========
+Alarm clock
+===========
+
+Write an 8051 program which implements an alarm clock. This project will
+have two phases, the first of which is described here. The alarm clock
+runs all the time, with the current time displayed on the four 7-segment
+displays. In this first phase your clock needs to:
+ 1. use timers to keep time updated to the second
+ 2. switch between 12 hour and 24 hour modes based switch bank.0 (0==12
+ hr, 1==24hr)
+ 3. if you are in 12 hour mode, use the decimal point on the last
+ 7-segment display to indicate AM or PM (off = AM, on == PM)
+ 4. switch between display of hours:minutes and minutes:seconds based on
+ switch bank.1 (0==hours:minutes, 1==minutes:seconds)
+ 5. keep the decimal point of the second 7-segment display lit as a
+ visual separator
+
+AM/PM should remain indicated regardless of which display mode you are
+using.
+
+You do not (yet) need to be able to:
+ - set the time (pick a starting value)
+ - set an alarm time
+ - perform an alarm
