1. Components of Embedded Systems

2. Components of Embedded Systems

3. Microcontrollers An integrated circuit that executes a program -Microcontroller vs. microprocessor -Slower, 16MHz-500MHz -Less memory, fewer features

4. Microcontrollers Connected to other hardware components Sends commands and receives data

5. Microcontrollers Needs to be programmed -Write a program in a language, such as C -Place the program in the mctrlr memory

6. Programming Microcontrollers -Write code on a host machine-regular desktop or laptop -Programming the microcontroller-transferring the program from host to the microcontroller

7. Using a Programmer Programming hardware can be used to place program in the microcontroller memory

8. More on Components of Embedded Systems

9.  Includes hardware needed for programming

10. Used for any application Many features included Made to support DSP functions Vector instructions Cheaper but more limited Rceive information from the environment

11. Provide simple information Thermistor: reports temperature Photoresistor: report light intensity

12. More complicated data CMOS camera: captures images Ethernet controller: enables network communication

13. Cause events to occur in the environment Simple actuators -Light-emitting diodes (LEDs)-Small lights -LCD display-simple display

14. Complex Actuators Servo motor: moves something Ethernet controller: enables network communication

15. Sensors and Actuators
