What is an Embedded System?

An embedded system is not a microprocessor used in a traditional computing application desktop laptop workstation An embedded system is a microprocessor used as a component in another piece of technology

cell phone digital camera portable digital assistant household appliance automobile antilock brake system . . . (how many can you name)?

Are embedded systems common? According to Tennenhouse [4], in the year 2000

150 million microprocessors used in traditional computers 8 billion microprocessors used in embedded applications!!

Where are Embedded Systems?


Many articles emphasize the growing ubiquity of embedded microprocessors, including networked embedded processors. few examples:

automobiles (Ford, GM, and suppliers)


antilock braking systems engine controls active suspension ...

manufacturing appliances (Whirlpool)


washers, dryers

toasters

General Types of Embedded Systems


According to system there are 4 types of embedded systems

General
Similar to traditional computer systems, in a smaller
package

PDAs
portable games

Communications
cell phones

Signal Processing

video and audio

Control
real time feedback control automotive aerospace appliances

Characteristics of Embedded Systems


Embedded system applications are distinguished from Traditional applications by many factors. A partial list includes

cost
hardware (recurring engineering cost, pennies
crucial in Consumer market) software (nonrecurring engineering cost, but may limit timeto-market!)

Limits not usually present in desktop world:


memory development environment power consumption operator interface

Reliability Safety Real time critical

Processor speed not as important as


guaranteed response time.
Interface to environment through sensors and actuators

Skills Needed for Embedded Applications


An embedded system application involves a diverse set of skills that extend across traditional disciplinary boundaries, including

Computer hardware Software Algorithms Interface electronics

Application domain
