Embedded System Integration and Guide

An embedded system is a dedicated computer designed for specific tasks within larger systems, characterized by real-time operation, resource constraints, and a need for reliability. The development process involves defining system architecture, integrating hardware and software, and thorough testing and debugging. Key rules for development include prioritizing safety, optimizing resource use, and implementing continuous testing.

EMBEDDED SYSTEM Understanding the Basics

and Development Rules

INTEGRATION AND GUIDE Presented by Farouk


Inspiretech
WHAT IS AN EMBEDDED
SYSTEM?
Definition:
 A dedicated computer system designed to perform specific tasks
within a larger system.
Examples:
 Medical devices
 Automotive control systems
 Home appliances
…
CHARACTERISTICS OF
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

 Real-Time Operation: Embedded systems often operate under


strict timing constraints.
 Resource Constraints: Limited processing power, memory, and
energy.
 Reliability and Stability: Critical for system success, especially
in safety-critical applications.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
EMBEDDED SYSTEM
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE: DEFINE THE
OVERALL STRUCTURE AND COMPONENTS.
HARDWARE/SOFTWARE INTEGRATION:
BRINGING UP THE BOARD AND ENSURING
COMPONENTS WORK TOGETHER.
TESTING AND DEBUGGING: ENSURING
THE SYSTEM MEETS SPECIFICATIONS
AND FUNCTIONS CORRECTLY.
CHALLENGES IN EMBEDDED
SYSTEMS

 Complexity of Hardware/Software Integration: Requires a


deep understanding of both domains.
 Resource Limitations: Need for efficient use of memory, CPU,
and power.
 Debugging: Difficult due to the limited visibility into the
system's internal states.
PRINCIPLES FOR
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
•Modular Design: Break down the system into manageable parts.

•Effective Use of Debugging Tools: Oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and

multimeters.

•Robust Error Handling: Develop a consistent methodology for handling

errors.
SYSTEM
ARCHITECTURE
IN EMBEDDED
SYSTEMS
 Block Diagrams: Visual representation
of the system components and their
interactions.
 Layered View: Helps in separating
concerns and managing complexity.
 Encapsulation: Group related
functionalities together to improve
modularity.
KEY RULES FOR EMBEDDED
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
 Start with a Clear Architecture: Document the system's
architecture early.
 Prioritize Safety and Reliability: Particularly in systems where
failures can have serious consequences.
 Optimize for Resources: Use memory and processing power
efficiently.
 Continuous Testing: Validate each component and the system
as a whole at every stage.

ARCHITECTURE
IN EMBEDDED
SYSTEMS
LAYERED VIEW
 Start with Layered Object Diagram
 Identify Shared Resources
 Consider Module Groupings
 Manage Complexity
 Adjust Layer Size as Needed
 Evaluate Horizontal Connections
 Optimize Resource Allocation
BEST PRACTICES FOR
EFFICIENT DEVELOPMENT

 Code Reuse: Utilize existing libraries and code patterns where


applicable.
 Consistent Coding Standards: Maintain readability and ease of
maintenance.
 Regular Code Reviews: Ensure code quality and adherence to
standards.
