 Embedded System ???......
• Hardware is driven and controlled by
software

• Software runs in a computer system

(usually a micro-controller)

• Preprogrammed to do specific function

Let us look into some examples……
• Microcontroller based lock

• Thermostat controller

• Pacemaker
 Applications
• Communications
• Automotive automatic braking
• Military applications – Missile
guidance systems
• Industrial applications
• Robotics
System organization
 Embedded system design
requirement

• Computer design requirement

• System-level requirement
Computer design requirement

• Real time/reactive operation

• Small size, low weight
• Safe and reliable
• Harsh environment
• Cost sensitivity
 System-level requirement
• End product utility
• System safety and reliability
• Controlling physical systems
• Power management
 Software design issues
• Round robin scheme
Loop:
Await tick;
Read S1;take action(S1);
Read S2;take action(S2);
Read S3;take action(S3);
Forever
Concurrent Programming
 QNX-RTOS
Features:
• Micro kernel architecture

• Message based interprocess

communication
 PROCESS

RUNNING READY

WAITING EVENT

BLOCKED
 Synchronous Programming
3 Level Architecture:

• Interactive I/O interface

• Reactive kernel
• Data management
 Future Possibilities
• More and more produced processors are
used in embedded devices
• New applications like pervasive computing
are emerging
