1. What are embedded systems?

Definition:



Embedded system : any device that includes a
programmable computer but is not itself a generalpurpose computer.
Data processing systems except PCs and mainframe
computers.
Embedded systems are application dedicated
computing system.
A More Detailed Definition

Embedded system are application oriented devices,
which should be optimized with hardware and software
resources. A special computing system with demand of
functionality, reliability, cost, size, and power
consumption.

Generally, an embedded system consists of 4 parts -embedded
microprocessor,
peripheral
hardware
equipment, embedded operating system and user's
application program,used for realizing the functions ,
such as control on other equipment , monitoring or
management.

Reference Interpretation (1)


An "embedded system" is any computer system or
computing device that performs a dedicated function
or is designed for use with a specific embedded
software application.
Embedded systems may use a ROM-based operating
system or they may use a disk-based system, like a
PC. But an embedded system is not usable as a
commercially viable substitute for general purpose
computers or devices.
Reference Interpretation (2)

A specialized computer system that is part of a larger
system or machine. Typically, an embedded system is
housed on a single microprocessor board with the
programs stored in ROM. Virtually all appliances that
have a digital interface -- watches, microwaves,
VCRs, cars -- utilize embedded systems. Some
embedded systems include an operating system, but
many are so specialized that the entire logic can be
implemented as a single program.
Reference Interpretation(3)

The embedded system can be divided into chip,
board, and system level.



System on chip - Processor including the procedure
or the algorithm in one chip.
System on board - board contains some core module.
System on system - in main computing system.

embedded processor (1)


Micro-Controller Unit (MCU)
 i.e. Single chip. The early processor that integrated the whole
computer in a chip, the inside has a certain processor unit as
the core, and program in ROM. Some essential peripheral
hardware such as RAM, bus, bus logic, timer / counter, I/O,
serial port, A/D, D/A converter, etc. are also integrated.
 Intel 8051
Micro-Processor Unit (MPU)
 The MPU must be assembled with other essential peripheral
hardware together on a circuit board to carry out the
embedded function.
 ARM series,MIPS
Classification and term of the
embedded processor (2)

IA & Embedded System

Information Appliance

An appliance specializing in information :
Knowledge, facts, graphics, images, video, or
sound. An information appliance is designed to
perform activity, such as music, photography, or
writing. A distinguishing feature of information
appliance is the ability to share information among
themselves. (Don Norman)
IA & Embedded System (cont’d)

The core of the IA machine is an embedded system

The cost of a IA machine is depends on cost of
embedded system

The usability of a IA machine is depends on
software of embedded system

The development of the IA machine is followed
with the trend of embedded system

 Hard real time: missing deadline causes failure.
 Soft
real time: missing deadline results in
degraded performance.
Many systems are multi-rate: must handle operations
at widely varying rates.

Non-functional requirements


Many embedded systems are mass-market items that
must have low manufacturing costs.
 Limited memory, microprocessor power, etc.
Power consumption is critical in battery-powered
devices.
 Excessive power consumption increases system
cost even in wall-powered devices.
Design teams


Often designed by a small team of designers.
Often must meet tight deadlines.
 6 month market window is common.
 Can’t miss back-to-school window for calculator.

Simulator


Simulator
 A Software based on host computer totally, Simulate
functions and instructions of target machine.
Characteristic
 Simple and executable
 Lack online function debug and real-time emulation
 Can imitate the target processor only, it is unable to
imitate the function about I/O of the processor
 Common used as primary debugging tool.
ICE

ICE: In-Circuit Emulator
 The tradition method for testing the printed circuit
board.


ICE is a special device. It has special clips or connectors to
touch each pin of the specific CPU chip, and can monitor the
logic level on this CPU chip.
Because the integrated level of the IC is improving
constantly, the pin of the chip is increasing also. In addition,
the surface mount technology reduces the chip size. So, it is
ddifficult to use routine online emulation way…
Embedded ICE

Embedded ICE: a set of debugging registers




JTAG Interface


IBCR (Instruction Break Control Register)
DBAR (Data Break Address Register)
…
JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) has defined a standard of boundary scan,
need only 5 pins to realize the function of online emulation .
ARM architecture processors have embedded ICE unit, which
can be connected with the JTAG interface. Meanwhile, in order
to trace the function in real time, ARM processor embedded a
tracing unit implicitly that enables real time debug through a
logic analyzer.
