    Lesson 4: Software Embedded: Into A System-Part 1

    Uploaded by

    rahul sanjay
    The document discusses embedded software and programming languages. It explains that embedded software is stored as a ROM image, which is a unique arrangement of bytes at each ROM address for instructions and data. Programming languages for embedded systems include machine language, assembly language, and high-level languages like Embedded C, C++, and Java. The document outlines the process of converting programs written in these languages into a final ROM image for the targeted hardware system.

    1. ROM Image
    • Final stage software also called ROM
    image*
    * (Just as an image is a unique sequence and
    arrangement of pixels, embedded software
    is also a unique placement and arrangement
    at each ROM address of bytes for
    instructions and data. )

    System ROM memory embedding the software, RTOS, data,
    and vector addresses
    Chapter-1L04: "Embedded Systems- 3E" , Raj Kamal,

    Publs.: McGraw-Hill Education
    Final machine software
     Bytes at each address defined for creating
    the ROM image.
     By changing this image, the same hardware
    platform work differently and can be used
    for entirely different applications or for new
    upgrades of the same system.

    Distinct ROM image in a distinct
    Embedded System
     Hardware elements between the
    distinct systems can be identical but it
    is the software that makes a system
    unique and distinct from the other.

    Compressed Codes and Data
     ROM image may alternatively be
    compressed software (for example, the
    zip format) and data (for example, the
    pictures in jpg or gif format) along
    with the software required for
    decompression algorithm

    1. Machine Language Coding
     Programmer defines the addresses and
    the corresponding bytes or bits at each
    address.
     Used in configuring some specific
    physical device or subsystem like
    transceiver, the machine code- based
    coding is used

    2. Assembly Language Coding
     Needed for Invoking Processor
    Specific Instructions
     Requires understanding of the
    processor and instruction set.
     A program or a small specific part
    coded in the assembly language using
    an Assembler (software used for
    developing codes in assembly).

    Compiler
     Generates an object file. Using linker
    and locator, the file for ROM image
    is created for the targeted hardware.
    C++ and Java are other languages
    used for software coding.
