What Is an Embedded System?
18
2- Embedded System
Until the late 1980s, information processing was associated with large mainframe
computers and huge tape drives.
A tape drive is a data storage device that reads and writes data on a magnetic tape.
Magnetic-tape data storage is typically used for offline, archival data storage.
IBM System/360 : First mainframe was created by the well-known IBM, while the cost 19
of its creation amounted to $5 billion.
2- Embedded System
Later, Some predictions have been made:
• have computing (and information processing) anytime, anywhere.
• computers are going to be integrated into products such that they will
become invisible.
Due to the widespread use of small devices in combination with the
Internet, some of the visions about the future have already become a
common practice.
20
2- Embedded System
Miniaturization also enabled the integration of information
processing and the environment using computers.
This type of information processing has been called an
“embedded system”

Embedded: means hidden inside so one can’t see it
System: means multiple components interfaced together

systems embedded into enclosing products.”

An embedded system is an applied computer system, as distinguished
from other types of computer systems such as personal computers (PCs)
or supercomputers.

Electronic devices in just about every engineering market segment are classified
as embedded systems

4- Design Flows
When approaching embedded systems architecture design from a systems
engineering point of view, several models can be applied to describe the cycle of
embedded system design.
Life-Cycle
Software Development Life-Cycle (SDLC) Models
35
4- Design Flows
• The big-bang model, in which there is essentially no planning or processes in
place before and during the development of a system.
• The code-and-fix model, in which product requirements are defined but no formal
processes are in place before the start of development.
• The waterfall model, in which there is a process for developing a system in steps,
where results of one step flow into the next step.
• The spiral model, in which there is a process for developing a system in steps,
and throughout the various steps, feedback is obtained and incorporated back into
the process.
