What is Embedded System?

• Embedded means something that is connected to
  something else. An embedded framework can be
  thought of as a PC equipment framework having
  programming embedded in it. An embedded framework
  can be a free framework or it can be a piece of
  an expansive framework. An embedded framework is
  a microcontroller or chip based framework which
  is intended to play out a particular errand. For
  instance, a fire caution is an embedded
  framework it will detect just smoke.

Components of Embedded System

• An embedded system has three segments
• It has equipment.
• It has application programming.
• It has Real Time Operating system (RTOS) that
  directs the application programming and give
  instrument to give the processor a chance to run
  a procedure according to booking by following an
  arrangement to control the latencies. RTOS
  characterizes the way the system works. It sets
  the tenets amid the execution of use program. A
  little scale embedded system might not have RTOS.
  
• So we can characterize an embedded system as a
  Microcontroller based, programming driven,
  dependable, continuous control system.

Characteristics of Embedded System

• Single-functioned - An embedded system usually
  performs a specialized operation and does the
  same repeatedly. For example A pager always
  functions as a pager.
• Tightly constrained - All computing systems have
  constraints on design metrics, but those on an
  embedded system can be especially tight. Design
  metrics is a measure of an implementation's
  features such as its cost, size, power, and
  performance. 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.
• Reactive and Real time - Many embedded systems
  must continually react to changes in the system's
  environment and must compute certain results in
  real time without any delay. Consider an example
  of a car cruise controller it continually
  monitors and reacts to speed and brake sensors.
  It must compute acceleration or de-accelerations
  repeatedly within a limited time a delayed
  computation can result in failure to control of
  the car.

• Microprocessors based - It must be microprocessor
  or microcontroller based.
• Memory - It must have a memory, as its software
  usually embeds in ROM. It does not need any
  secondary memories in the computer.
• Connected - It must have connected peripherals to
  connect input and output devices.
• HW-SW systems - Software is used for more
  features and flexibility. Hardware is used for
  performance and security.

Essential Structure of an Embedded System

• The accompanying delineation demonstrates the
  fundamental structure of an embedded system -
• Embedded Systems Structure
• Sensor - It quantifies the physical amount and
  changes over it to an electrical flag which can
  be perused by an eyewitness or by any electronic
  instrument like an A2D converter. A sensor stores
  the deliberate amount to the memory.
• A-D Converter - A simple to-advanced converter
  changes over the simple flag sent by the sensor
  into a computerized flag.
• Processor and ASICs - Processors process the
  information to gauge the yield and store it to
  the memory.

The following illustration shows the basic
structure of an embedded system -

• D-A Converter - An advanced to-simple converter
  changes over the computerized information
  bolstered by the processor to simple information
• Actuator - An actuator looks at the yield given
  by the D-A Converter to the real (expected) yield
  put away in it and stores the affirmed yield.

System Processor

• A processor has two fundamental units
• Program Flow Control Unit (CU)
• Execution Unit (EU)
• The CU incorporates a bring unit for getting
  guidelines from the memory. The EU has circuits
  that execute the directions relating to
  information exchange activity and information
  transformation starting with one frame then onto
  the next.
• The EU incorporates the Arithmetic and Logical
  Unit (ALU) and furthermore the circuits that
  execute guidelines for a program control errand,
  for example, interfere, or hop to another
  arrangement of directions.
• A processor runs the cycles of get and executes
  the directions in an indistinguishable grouping
  from they are brought from memory.

Types of Processors

• General Purpose Processor (GPP)
• Microprocessor
• Microcontroller
• Embedded Processor
• Digital Signal Processor
• Media Processor
• Application Specific System Processor (ASSP)
• Application Specific Instruction Processors
  (ASIPs)
• GPP core(s) or ASIP core(s) on either an
  Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or
  a Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuit.

Debugging Tools in an Embedded System

• Debugging is an orderly procedure to discover and
  lessen the quantity of bugs in a PC program or a
  bit of electronic equipment, with the goal that
  it fills in not surprisingly. Investigating is
  troublesome when subsystems are firmly coupled,
  in light of the fact that a little change in one
  subsystem can make bugs in another. The
  investigating apparatuses utilized as a part of
  embedded systems vary incredibly as far as their
  improvement time and troubleshooting highlights.
