Memory Types in Embedded Systems

1. RAM (Random Access Memory)


o Volatile memory (data lost when power off).
o Used for temporary storage during program execution.
o Example: SRAM, DRAM.
2. ROM (Read-Only Memory)
o Non-volatile memory (data retained without power).
o Stores permanent programs or firmware.
o Example: PROM, EPROM, EEPROM.
3. Flash Memory
o Non-volatile and electrically erasable.
o Used in microcontrollers for program storage.
4. Cache Memory
o Small, fast memory close to the processor.
o Speeds up data access for frequently used instructions.
5. Buffer Memory
o Temporary storage to hold data during transfer between
devices.

BUFFER
A buffer is a temporary storage area in memory used to hold data
while it’s being transferred between two devices or processes that
operate at different speeds.
Key points:

• Helps smooth data flow and prevent data loss.


• Common in I/O operations, like reading from a disk or
streaming video.
• Can be implemented in RAM or cache.

Example: Keyboard input is stored in a buffer before the CPU


processes it.

PROGRAMMING BASICS

On Day of my internship, I focused on the basics of programming in


embedded systems. I learned about different programming languages

38
used for embedded development and how they interface with
microcontrollers to control hardware components. The session
covered various input-output configurations, including single input &
single output, double input & double output, double input & single
output, and single input & multiple output systems. These
configurations helped me understand how embedded systems can be
designed to handle simple to complex operations efficiently. I also
practiced writing programs that could manage different types of
inputs and outputs, which strengthened my understanding of logical
operations, conditional statements, and sequential execution in
embedded programming. This day was crucial in bridging the gap
between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation,
preparing me for more advanced programming tasks and real-world
applications in the following days.

8. ROBOTIC
1. Robotic Operation

Robotic operation refers to how robots perform tasks autonomously or


semi-autonomously. Key points include:

• Task Execution: Robots follow programmed instructions to


carry out specific tasks like picking objects, welding, or
assembly.
• Sensors & Feedback: Robots use sensors (e.g., IR, ultrasonic,
cameras) to perceive their environment. Feedback helps them
adjust their actions.
• Automation Levels: Operations can be fully autonomous, semi-
autonomous, or manually controlled.

2. Robot Control

Robot control is the process of guiding a robot to perform desired


actions accurately. Main aspects include:

39
• Control Systems: Robots are often controlled using
microcontrollers, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), or
computers.
• Control Methods:
o Open-loop control: Commands are sent without feedback.
Simple but less accurate.
o Closed-loop control: Uses sensors to adjust actions in real-
time. More precise.
• Motion Control: Involves controlling motors (DC, stepper,
servo) to move robot joints or wheels.
• Programming: Robots are programmed with algorithms for path
planning, obstacle avoidance, and task execution.

RELAY
A relay is an electrically operated switch often used in robotics and
embedded systems:

• Function: Relays allow a low-power circuit (like a


microcontroller output) to control a high-power device (like a
motor or lamp).
• Working Principle: When current flows through the relay coil,
it generates a magnetic field that closes (or opens) the
switch.
• Applications in Robotics:
o Switching motors ON/OFF
o Controlling lights or actuators
o Safety cut-offs

9. IOT ( Internet of things )

or status (temperature, motion, light, etc.).
o Actuators: Take actions based on data (turn on a motor,
open a valve, etc.).
5. Cloud & Data Storage
o Collected data is often sent to cloud servers for
storage, analysis, and decision-making.
6. Automation & Intelligence
o IoT allows systems to act automatically based on real-
time data.

overloading the
microcontroller pins.
Integrate Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to regulate fan speed based
on temperature range.
