    CHARACTERISTICS OF EMBEDDED SYSTEM

    BASIC SOFTWARE TECHNIQUES FOR EMBEDDED


    APPLICATIONS
    CHARACTERISTICS OF
    EMBEDDED SYSTEM
    1. Single-functioned
    ◦ Performs a specialized operation
    ◦ Simple
    ◦ Low cost
    ◦ Less complex
    2. Tightly Constrained

    Cost Size Performance Battery power


    3. Reactive and Real Time
    ◦ Many embedded systems must continually react to changes in the
    system's environment and must compute certain results in real time
    without any delay.
    • Reactive System
    They only react on input
    There is no time limit to perform
    the system
    • Real-Time System
    Performs in given time frame
    Categorized in:
    • Soft Real-time Systems
    • Hard Real-time Systems
    Soft Real-
    Time Systems
    Timing is less critical

    Examples:
    ◦ Personal Computer
    Failure to meet deadline results in ◦ Audio and Video
    degraded performance
    Systems
    Timing is critical

    Hard Real-
    Time Systems
    Failure to meet deadline can result
    in disaster
    4. Perform Specific Task
    ◦ Total focus of the processor is to perform a single dedicated task
    5. User Interface
    ◦ Used by user to interact with the system
    ◦ Touchscreen or LCD
    6. Processors in Embedded Systems

    Processor-Based Embedded Microcontroller Based


    Systems Embedded Systems
    Factors in selecting processor or
    microcontroller
    8-bit, 16-bit Amount of
    Number of
    or 32-bit RAM and Speed
    I/O pins
    Architecture ROM

    7. Ready-Made Boards
    ◦ Arduino Board
    ◦ Raspberry Pi
    ◦ Banana Pi
    ◦ Intel Galileo
    ◦ Beaglebone

    Embedded Software

    SOFTWARE THAT CONTROLS LOADED IN THE


    AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM MICROCONTROLLER
    Tools used in
    developing
    embedded software

    • Editor
    • Compiler
    • Assembler
    • Debugger
    This is where the code is written

    The code is written in some


    programming language (ex. C or C+ 1. Editor
    +)

    Also referred to as source code


    Converts the source code to
    object code

    2. Compiler
    Object code is in low level
    programming language
    therefore it is understandable by
    computer
    Converts an assembly
    language code into machine
    language
    3. Assembler
    All mnemonics and data is
    converted to op codes and
    bits
    Used to debug code

    4. Debugger
    Tests for errors and bugs
    ◦ Combines one or more object
    code files and library files 5. Linker
    together in executable program
    Pre-written program that is
    ready to use and provides
    specific functionality
    6. Libraries
    File written in C or C++ and
    can be used by different
    programs and users
    Helps to see how the code will
    work in real time
    7. Simulator
    Input values can be changed to
    see corresponding outputs
    Integrated
    Development
    Environment (IDE)

    • MPLAB and
    PICKIT
    • Arduino Software
    • MATLAB
    • LabVIEW
    • Visual Studio
    MPLAB
    ◦ is a proprietary freeware integrated development
    environment for the development of embedded
    applications on PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers,
    and is developed by Microchip Technology.

    MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE)


    is an expandable, highly configurable software
    program that incorporates powerful tools to help you
    discover, configure, develop, debug and qualify
    embedded designs for most of Microchip’s
    microcontrollers and digital signal controllers. 
    Arduino Software
    ◦ Used if working with Arduino
    microcontroller
    ◦ Open source software
    ◦ User-friendly and has a lot of
    features
    MATLAB
    ◦ Can solve computational
    problems
    ◦ Can be used to interface
    programs written in other
    programming languages
    ◦ Includes an additional
    software called Simulink for
    simulation
    LabVIEW
    ◦ Stands for Laboratory Virtual
    Instrument Engineering
    Workbench
    ◦ Used for Data Acquisition,
    Industrial Automation and
    Instrument Control
    Visual Studio
    ◦ Integrated Development
    Environment provided by
    Microsoft
    ◦ Supports different
    programming languages
    ◦ Can be used to build mobile
    apps, window apps, and more
