  1. 22nd October 2008 Embedded System Design By Santosh N.Gudge

  2. Definition • Embedded System: Any Device that includes a computer but is not itself a general-purpose computer. • Hardware and software- part of some larger systems and expected to function without human intervention. • Respond, Monitor, control external environment using sensors and Actuators.

  3. Model

  4. Examples • Personal Digital assistant(PDA). • Printer. • Cell Phone. • Automobile: Engine, brakes, Dash, etc. • Television. • Household appliances. • Surveillance System.

  5. PDA

  6. Automotive embedded Systems • Today’s high-end automobile may have 100 microprocessors. • 4-bit Microcontrollers run dashboard devices. • 16/32-bit microprocessor controls engine.

  7. Braking System Architecture

  8. Characteristics of embedded Systems • Sophisticated functionality. • Low manufacturing cost. • Application dependent processor ( ?) • Restricted Memory • Low power . **Power consumption is critical in battery-powered devices.

  9. Types of Embedded System • Similar to General Computing *PDA, Set-top boxes, video games etc • Control Systems *flight control, Nuclear reactors • Signal processing *Radar, Sonar, DVD players • Communication and Networking *Cellular phones, Internet appliances.

  10. Architecture

  11. Challenges in embedded System design • How much hardware do you need? * what is word size of the CPU? Size of memory? • How do we meet our deadlines? *Faster hardware or Cleverer Software? • How do we minimize power? *Turn off unnecessary logic ? Reduce Memory accesses?

  12. Embedded System Design

  13. Design goals • Performance *overall speed, deadlines. • Functionality and user interface. • Manufacturing cost. • Power consumption. • Other requirements(physical size, etc.)

  14. Functional vs. non-functional requirements • Functional requirements: *output as a function of input. • Non-functional requirements: >time required to compute output; >size, weight , etc; >power consumption; >reliability; Etc.

  15. Design and Development Process

  16. Top-down vs bottom-up • Top-down design >start from most abstract description; >work to most detailed. • Bottom-up design: >work from small components to big system.

  17. Concluding Remarks • Embedded computers are all around us. >Many systems have complex embedded hardware and software. • Embedded systems pose many design challenges : design time, deadlines, power, etc. • Design methodologies help us manage the design process.
