2. Embedded System Definitions An embedded system is a microcontroller or microprocessor based system which is designed to perform a specific task. It is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system . It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware , software and mechanical parts . It is a Microcontroller based, software driven, reliable, real-time control system. A system is a way of working, organizing or doing one or many tasks according to a fixed plan, program or set of rules. A system is also an arrangement in which all its units assemble and work together according to the plan or program.

3. Embedded systems Concepts An embedded system usually performs a specialized operation . It must be of a size to fit on a single chip, must perform fast enough to process data in real time and consume minimum power to extend battery life . Many embedded systems must continually react to changes in the system's environment and must compute certain results without any delay . It must be microprocessor or microcontroller based systems Tightly constrained (Tight constraints on embedded systems a . Ability to fit on a single chip b . Low power consumption c . Fast data processing for results. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today. Ninety-eight percent of all microprocessors are manufactured as components of embedded systems

It does not need secondary memories as in a computer HARDWARE

7. Components of Embedded system An embedded system is a combination of three major components: Hardware: Hardware is physically used component that is physically connected with an embedded system. It comprises of microcontroller based integrated circuit, power supply, LCD display etc. Application software: Application software allows the user to perform varieties of application to be run on an embedded system by changing the code installed in an embedded system. Real Time Operating system (RTOS): RTOS supervises the way an embedded system work. It act as an interface between hardware and application software which supervises the application software and provide mechanism to let the processor run on the basis of scheduling for controlling the effect of latencies.

8. Components of Embedded system 1) Embedded System Hardware An embedded system uses a hardware platform to perform the operation. Hardware of the embedded system is assembled with a microprocessor / microcontroller. It has the elements such as input/output interfaces, memory, user interface and the display unit. Generally, an embedded system comprises of the following Power Supply Memory Processor Timers Input/Output circuits Serial communication ports SASC (System application specific circuits)

Embedded systems are commonly found in consumer, cooking, industrial, automotive, medical applications. Some example of embedded systems are MP3 players, mobile phones, videogame consoles, digital cameras, DVD players, and GPS. Household appliances, such as microwave ovens, washing machines and dishwashers, include embedded systems to provide flexibility and efficiency. Its complexity varies from low, with a single microcontroller chip, to very high with multiple units, peripherals and networks mounted inside a large enclosure.

23. Basic structure of an Embedded system Embedded system comprises of the following parts: Sensor A-D Converter Processors & ASIC(Application Specific Integrated Circuits) D-A Convertor Actuator Memory

24. Parts of Embedded system Sensor − It measures the physical quantity and converts it to an electrical signal which can be read by an observer or by any electronic instrument like an A2D converter. A sensor stores the measured quantity to the memory. A-D Converter − An analog-to-digital converter converts the analog signal sent by the sensor into a digital signal. Processor & ASICs − Processors process the data to measure the output and store it to the memory. D-A Converter − A digital-to-analog converter converts the digital data fed by the processor to analog data . Actuator − An actuator compares the output given by the D-A Converter to the actual (expected) output stored in it and stores the approved output.

25. Embedded processors Embedded processors can be broken into two broad categories. Ordinary microprocessors (μP) use separate integrated circuits for memory and peripherals. Microcontrollers (μC) have on-chip peripherals, thus reducing power consumption , size and cost. Word lengths vary from 4-bit to 64-bits and beyond, although the most typical remain 8/16-bit Numerous microcontrollers have been developed for embedded systems use. General-purpose microprocessors are also used in embedded systems, but generally require more support circuitry than microcontrollers.

26. Peripherals interfaces Serial Communication Interfaces (SCI): Synchronous Serial Communication Interface: I2C, SPI, SSC and ESSI (Enhanced Synchronous Serial Interface) Universal Serial Bus (USB) Multi Media Cards (SD cards, Compact Flash, etc.) Networks : Ethernet, LonWorks, etc. Fieldbuses : CAN-Bus, LIN-Bus, PROFIBUS, etc. Timers : PLL(s), Capture/Compare and Time Processing Units Discrete IO: aka General Purpose Input/output (GPIO) Analog to Digital/Digital to Analog (ADC/DAC) Debugging : JTAG, ISP, ICSP, BDM Port, BITP, and DB9 ports.

27. Applications of Embedded systems Embedded systems are commonly found in consumer, industrial, telecommunication , automotive, medical, commercial and military applications. Telecommunications systems employ numerous embedded systems from telephone switches for the network to cell phones at the end user. Computer networking uses dedicated routers and network bridges to route data. Embedded Wi-Fi modules provide a simple means of wirelessly enabling any device which communicates via a serial port. A new class of miniature wireless devices called motes are networked wireless sensors. These motes are completely self-contained, and will typically run off a battery source for years before the batteries need to be changed or charged. Various electric motors — brushless DC motors, induction motors and DC motors — use electric/electronic motor controllers. Embedded systems are used in transportation, fire safety, safety and security, medical applications and life critical systems, as these systems can be isolated from hacking and thus, be more reliable. For fire safety, the systems can be designed to have greater ability to handle higher temperatures and continue to operate. In dealing with security, the embedded systems can be self-sufficient and be able to deal with cut electrical and communication systems

28. Consumer Applications of Embedded systems Consumer electronics include personal digital assistants (PDAs), MP3 players, mobile phones, videogame consoles, digital cameras, DVD players, GPS receivers, and printers. Household appliances, such as microwave ovens, washing machines and dishwashers, include embedded systems to provide flexibility, efficiency and features. Advanced HVAC(Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning) systems use networked thermostats to more accurately and efficiently control temperature that can change by time of day and season. Home automation uses wired- and wireless-networking that can be used to control lights, climate, security, audio/visual, surveillance, etc., all of which use embedded devices for sensing and controlling.

29. Advantages & Disadvantages Advantages : Easily Customizable Low power consumption Low cost Enhanced performance It has Better steady Higher Speed Reliable Compatible to other devices Disadvantages: High development effort Larger time to market

30. Languages for Programming Embedded Systems Ass e m bly language was the pioneer for programming embedded systems till recently . Nowadays there are many more languages to program these systems. Some of the languages are C, C++, Ada, Forth, and Java together with its new enhancement J2ME. The majority of software for embedded systems is still done in C language. C ++ is also increasing its presence in embedded systems. As C++ is based on C language, thus providing programmer the object oriented methodologies to reap the benefits of such an approach.

31. Classifications of Embedded System

32. Real-time Systems Embedded systems in which some specific work has to be done in a specific time period are called real-time systems. Real ti m e e m bedded sys te m s are c la s s ified i n to two types such as soft and hard real time systems.

33. Stand Alone Embedded Systems Stand alone embedded systems do not require a host system like a computer, it works by itself. It takes the input from the input ports either analog or digital and processes, calculates and converts the data and gives the resulting data through the connected device-Which either controls, drives and displays the connected devices. Examples :- mp3 players, digital cameras, video game consoles, microwave ovens and temperature measurement systems.

34. Networked Embedded Systems These types of embedded systems are related to a network to access the resources. The connected network can be LAN, WAN or the internet. Exampl e :- ho m e secu r ity sys tem where i n a ll se n so r s are connected and run on the protocol TCP/IP , ATM

35. Mobile Embedded Systems Mobile embedded systems are used in portable embedded devices like cell phones, mobiles, digital cameras, mp3 players and personal digital assistants, etc. The basic limitation of these devices is the other resources and limitation of memory.

36. Small Scale Embedded System Single 8 bit or 16bit Microcontroller. Little hardware and software complexity. They may even be battery operated. Usually “C” is used for developing these system. The need to limit power dissipation when system is running continuously. Examples:- digital watches Programming tools: Ed i t o r , Assembler a n d C r oss Assembler

37. Single or few 16 or 32 bit microcontrollers or Digital Signal Processors (DSP) or Reduced Instructions Set Computers (RISC). Both hardware and software complexity.

Constrained by the processing speed available in their hardware units. Examples :-washing machine Programming Tools: For these systems may not be readily available at a reasonable cost or may not be available at all. A compiler or retargetable compiler might have to br developed for this.

39. Embedded System Constraints An embedded system is software designed to keep in view three constraints: Available system memory Available processor speed The need to limit the power dissipation When running the system continuously in cycles of wait for events, run, stop and wakeup.

AVR derives its name from its developers and stands for Alf- Egil Bogen Vegard Wollan RISC microcontroller, also known as Advanced Virtual RISC. The AT90S8515 was the first microcontroller which was based on AVR architecture however the first microcontroller to hit the commercial market was AT90S1200 in the year 1997. AVR microcontrollers are available in three categories: TinyAVR – Less memory, small size, suitable only for simpler applications MegaAVR – These are the most popular ones having good amount of memory ( upto 256 KB), higher number of inbuilt peripherals and suitable for moderate to complex applications. XmegaAVR – Used commercially for complex applications, which require large program memory and high speed.

47. The ARM processors have a less number of transistors because they have a reduced instruction set, which allows a smaller size for the IC. Thereby being space efficient also. Most of the electronic devices such as tablets, mobiles, smart phones and other mobile devices consist of these processors . By combining the ARM microprocessor with RAM, ROM and other peripherals in one single chip, we get an ARM microcontroller, for example, LPC2148. ARM microcontroller Embedded Systems

48. VERSIONS AND FEATURES OF ARM MICROCONTROLLER One of the most advanced form of these microcontrollers is the cortex microcontroller , developed by ARMv7. The cortex family is further divided as: Cortex Ax series Cortex Rx series Cortex Mx series ARM microcontroller Embedded Systems

49. ARM microcontroller Embedded Systems CORETEX M3 MICROCONTROLLER architecture

50. CORETEX M3 MICROCONTROLLER FEATURES One of the most advanced form of It is a 32 bit processor offering many advantages over other microcontrollers. It is a ‘ harward architecture’. For communication with Ram and Rom, this architecture provides separate instruction buses and data buses. It consists of a 3 stage pipeline which fetches the instructions, then decodes it and then finally executes the instruction. The memory required for the program has been reduced and also it provides high code density because of the usage of THUMB-2 technology in coretex-M3. For the good interrupt performance, the core m3 is closely integrated to NVIC (Nested Vector Interrupt Controller). It is a Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) controller. It has a high performance CPU of 32 bits and the pipelining is done through 3 stages. ARM microcontroller Embedded Systems

This technology also provides high performance in operations and executions. It has low power modes. Sleep modes are also supported by it . It controls the software efficiently and it consists of multiple domains of power. The NVIC, Nested Vectored interrupt controller provides low latency as well as low jitter interrupts response.

54. APPLICATION SPECIFIC INTEGRATED CIRCUIT microcontrollers ASIC microcontroller Embedded Systems An application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC) is an integrated circuit (IC) chip customized for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use . For example, a chip designed to run in a digital voice recorder or a high-efficiency bitcoin miner is an ASIC. Application-specific standard product (ASSP) chips are intermediate between ASICs and industry standard integrated circuits like the 7400 series or the 4000 series . Modern ASICs often include entire microprocessors, memory blocks including ROM, RAM, EEPROM, flash memory and other large building blocks. Such an ASIC is often termed a SoC (system-on-chip). Designers of digital ASICs often use a hardware description language (HDL)

55. Types of ASIC ASIC microcontroller Embedded Systems

56. Full Custom ASIC microcontrollers ASIC microcontroller Embedded Systems In this type of design all the logic cells are tailored made for specific application .i.e. designer has to specially make the logic cells for the circuits . All the mask layers for interconnection are customized. So programmer can’t change interconnections of the chip and while programming he has to be aware of the circuit layout. One of the best examples of Full custom ASIC is a microprocessor . This type of customization allows designers to built various analog circuits, optimized memory cells, or mechanical structures on a single IC. This ASIC is costly and very time consuming to manufacture and design. The time is taken to design these ICs is around eight weeks . These are usually intended for high-level applications. Maximum performance, minimized area and highest degree of flexibility are major features of Full custom design. Eventually , the risk is high in design as the logic cells, resistor etc … circuit elements used are not pretested.

57. Semi-Custom ASIC microcontrollers ASIC microcontroller Embedded Systems In this type of design logic cells are taken from standard libraries .i.e. they are not handcrafted as in Full custom design. Some masks are customized while some are taken from the predesigned library. Based on the type of logic cells taken from the library and amount of customization allowed for interconnects these ASICs are divided into two types- Standard cell-based ASIC and Gate Array-based ASIC.

58. Semi-Custom ASIC microcontrollers ASIC microcontroller Embedded Systems 1). Standard cell-based ASIC To know these IC first let us understand what a standard cell library stands for. Some of the logic cells such as AND gates, OR gates, multiplexers, flip-flops are predesigned by designers using different configurations, standardized and stored in the form of a library. This collection is known as standard cell library . In standard cell-based, ASIC logic cells from these standard libraries are used. On the ASIC chip standard cell area or flexible block are made up of standard cells arranged in the form of rows. Along with these flexible blocks mega cells like microcontrollers or even microprocessors are used on-chip. These mega cells are also known as Mega functions, system level macros, fixed blocks, Functional standard blocks

59. 2). Gate Array Based ASIC microcontrollers ASIC microcontroller Embedded Systems This type of semi-custom ASIC have predefined transistors on the silicon wafer .i.e. the designer cannot change the placement of the transistors present on the die. Base array is the predefined pattern of the gate array and the base cell is the smallest repetitive cell of the base array. The designer only has liability to change interconnection between transistors using the first few metal layers of the die . The designer chooses from the gate array library. These are often called as Masked Gate Array. Gate Array Based ASIC are of three types. They are Channeled Gate Array, Channel less gate array and a structured gate array.

60. 2). Gate Array Based ASIC microcontrollers ASIC microcontroller Embedded Systems a).Channeled Gate Array In this type of gate array, wiring space is left between rows of transistors. These are similar to CBIC as space is left for interconnection between blocks but in channeled gate array cell rows are fixed in height whereas in CBIC this space can be adjusted . Some of the main features of this gate array are- this gate array uses predefined spaces between rows for interconnection . Manufacturing time is two days to two weeks.

61. 2). Gate Array Based ASIC microcontrollers ASIC microcontroller Embedded Systems b) Channel Less Gate Array There is no free space left for routing between rows of cells as seen in the channeled gate array. Here routing is done from above the gate array cells as we can customize the connection between the metal 1 and transistors. For routing, we leave the transistors lying in the path of routing unused . The manufacturing lead time is about two weeks.

62. 2). Gate Array Based ASIC microcontrollers ASIC microcontroller Embedded Systems c). Structured Gate Array This type of gate array has an embedded block along with gate array rows as seen above. Structured gate array has a higher area efficiency of CBIC . Like Masked gate array these have lower cost and faster turnaround. Here the fixed size of the embedded function poses a limitation on the structured gate array. For example, is this gate array contains an area reserved for 32k bit controller but if in an application we only require an area for 16k bit controller the remaining area gets wasted. All the gate array have a turnaround time of two days to two weeks and all have customized interconnect.

63. Programmable ASIC microcontrollers ASIC microcontroller Embedded Systems There are two types of programmable ASICs. They are PLD and FPGA, PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices ) FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices ) These are the standard cells readily available. We can program a PLD to customized a part of the application, so they are considered as ASIC. We can use different methods and software to program a PLD. These contain a regular matrix of logic cells usually programmable array logic along with flip-flops or latches. Here interconnects are present as a single large block. PROM is a common example of this IC. EPROM uses MOS transistors as interconnect so by applying high voltage we can program it. PLDs have no customized logic cells or interconnect. These have a fast design turnaround.
