Embedded system basics

2019-10-11

     In our daily lives, we often use many electrical and electronic circuits and kits designed using embedded system technology. Computers, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, digital electronic systems, and other electronic and electronic devices are designed using embedded systems.

What is an embedded system?

     An electronic system that integrates hardware circuitry with software programming techniques used to provide project solutions is referred to as an embedded system. By using this embedded system technology, the complexity of the circuit can be greatly reduced, which further reduces cost and size.

Embedded System Design

    An embedded system is basically an electronic system that can be programmed or unprogrammed to operate, organize, and execute single or multiple tasks based on the application. In a real-time embedded system, all assembled units work together based on a program or rule set or code embedded in the microcontroller. However, by using this microcontroller programming technique, only a limited range of problems can be solved.

Embedded system hardware

    Each electronic system consists of hardware circuits. Similarly, embedded systems include hardware such as power kits, central processing units, memory devices, timers, output circuits, serial communication ports, and system application specific circuit components and circuits.

Embedded system software programming

    An embedded system is an integration of hardware and software. The software used in an embedded system is a set of instructions called a program. A microprocessor or microcontroller used in the hardware circuitry of the embedded system is programmed to perform a particular task by following the set of instructions. These programs are mainly written in programming software and programming languages. The program is then dumped to a microprocessor or microcontroller used in the embedded system circuitry.

Classification of embedded systems

    Embedded systems are largely divided into different types based on hardware and software and the complexity of microcontrollers (8 or 16 or 32 bits). Therefore, based on the performance of the microcontroller, the embedded system is divided into three types, small-scale embedded systems, medium-sized embedded systems, and advanced embedded systems.

    In addition, based on the performance and functional requirements of system embedded systems are divided into four categories: real-time embedded systems, independent embedded systems, network embedded systems, mobile embedded systems.
