ABSTRACT

Brief Overview
Embedded design which includes the hardware part as well as the software part is divided into several
modules naming C, C++, Data Structures, General Operating System, LINUX OS, AVR, ARM,
Microcontroller & Device Drivers. All these modules will be studied in detail. After the completion of
all these modules, both hardware & programming part of embedded system design will get covered.
Technical/Software Details
I am working on Linux operating system. I have covered the software part which includes programming.
For that I have been using Red Hat Linux 2.6.18.- version. Linux is freeware & mostly used in industry
worldwide for programming purpose. I am doing C programming, data structures, stacks, linked lists etc
under the same software.
With Linux I m also getting an opportunity to understand an operating system which is new for me
since I have used windows till now.
Innovativeness & Usefulness
There is a huge scope of innovation in embedded system & design. I try out different ways to achieve a
similar task more accurately & quickly. I am always looking for new ideas which can be implemented in
life through embedded systems. In programming part I apply new logics which would make me an
efficient programmer. More innovation can be thought of while I start my project. Usefulness of
embedded systems is unending. An embedded system engineer, through his work can serve the industry
with new projects , ideas & as we all know there is embedded technology involved in most of the
aspects of engineering. It is utmost useful.









INTRODUCTION
An embedded system is a special-purpose computing system designed to perform one or a few dedicated
functions.
Comparing PC and Embedded system
A general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer, can do many different tasks depending on
programming. Embedded systems control many of the common devices in use today. In contrast, any
electronic system which uses a CPU chip to do some specific tasks is known as embedded system.
Embedded system generally uses Microprocessor/Microcontroller or custom designed chips as a central
processing unit (CPU).
Examples of Embedded System
Consumer Electronics
Mobile Phone
Automatic washing machine
Climate control AC
DVD player / Audio-Video system
Digital camera
CMp3 players
Automobiles
Fuel injection
Anti-lock braking system
Traction control
Cruise control
Medical equipments
CT scan
ECGEMG/EEG Blood Pressure monitoring




Management Functions
Although the range of services and value-added features provided by a modern operating system is
continually growing, there are four fundamental operating system management functions that are
implemented by all operating systems. Each of these management functions is briefly described below
in order to provide an overall context for what follows. The four main operating system management
functions (each of which will be dealt with in greater depth elsewhere) are:
Process management
Memory management
File and disk management
I/O system management

Motivation of enterprises

Many scholars and practitioners in human resource management have recently argued that awards and
other forms of on-the-job recognition provide a "free" way to motivate employees. But are there
unintended, negative effects of such awards? In this paper, the authors simultaneously examine the costs
and benefits of an attendance award program that was implemented in an industrial laundry plant. The
award used in the study was effective in that it reduced the average rate of tardiness among employees.
However, it also led to a host of potential spillover effects that the plant manager readily admits were
not considered when designing the program, and that reduced overall plant productivity. Overall,
findings demonstrate that an award program that appears to be effective may also induce unintended
consequences severely reducing the net value of the program. These results highlight the impact such a
program can have on the overall performance of the firm and suggest caution when designing and
implementing such programs.
