EMBEDDED SYSTEM
What is an embedded
system??
An
embedded system is an
electronic/electro-mechanical
system designed to perform a
specific function and is a
combination of both hardware
and firmware (software).
Unique.
h/w as well as firmware is highly
specialized to the application
domain.
system which is a
combination of special
purpose h/w and
embedded OS for
executing a specific set of
applications.
May or may not contain
OS for functioning.
The firmware of the
embedded system is preprogrammed and it is non
alterable by the end user.
system which is a
combination of a generic
h/w and a General
Purpose Operating
System for executing a
variety of applications.
Contains
General Purpose
Operating System
(GPOS).
Application
are alterable
by the
user(Programmable).
Application
specific
requirements(like
performance, power
requirements,
memory usage,etc)
are the key deciding
factors.
Response time
requirement is highly
critical.
Execution behavior is
deterministic for
certain types of ES
like hard real time
systems
Performance
is the
key deciding factor
in the selection of
the system.
Response
not to be
deterministic in
execution behavior.

The
CLASSIFICATION OF ES
1.
Based on generation
2. Complexity & performance
requirements
3. Based on deterministic behaviorRTOS-> hard and soft
4. Based on triggering-Reactive in
nature-.event triggered or time
triggered.
generation : 8 bit p
like 8085 & 4 bit c - simple
h/w f/w in assembly code.
Stepper motor, digital
telephonic keypads
Fourth
2. CLASSIFICATION BASED ON
COMPLEXITY AND PERFORMANCE
Small
Simple
Not time critical
Low performance
Low cost(8 or 16 bit mp or mc)
May or may not contain o.s
