Embedded Systems: Classification Classification of Embedded Systems: Embedded Systems can be classified in different ways based on different criteria. Some of the criteria used in the classification of Embedded Systems are: Based on Generation Based on Complexity & Performance requirements Based on Deterministic behavior Based on Triggering Classification based on Generation This classification is […]
Embedded Systems: History History of Embedded Systems In the older days Embedded Systems were built around the old vacuum tube and transistor technologies and the embedded algorithms were developed in low-level languages. Advances in semiconductor and nano-technology and the IT revolution gave a thrust to the development of miniature embedded systems. APOLLO GUIDANCE COMPUTER (AGC)
Embedded Systems: Design Metrics Design Metrics of Embedded Systems 1. Processing Power A processor is chosen based on the necessary register width and the amount of processing power to complete the task. 2. Throughput or Performance The execution time or throughput of the system is important design metric for an Embedded System design. Performance is
Embedded Systems: Features Features of Embedded Systems 1) Single-functioned System Most of the embedded system usually executes a single job repetitively. Example: a) A washing machine has an embedded controller that can take user inputs regarding knob settings and perform the washing job.b) A pager is used to send messages.c) A cell phone is used
Embedded Systems: Fundamentals Our day-to-day life is becoming more and more dependent on “Embedded Systems” and Digital gadgets. Even without our knowledge, embedded technologies are permeating every aspect of our daily lives. We are habituated to using different devices/ gadgets to simplify our tasks, like refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, air conditioning, television, music systems,
