• An embedded system is some combination of computer hardware and software.

• 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. 

Embedded System

Trends in Embedded SystemVarious recent trends in embedded system are :-

SoC (System on a Chip)•A system on a chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit (IC) that integrates all components of a computer or other electronic system into a single chip.

•SoCs are very common in the mobile electronics market because of their low power consumption. A typical application is in the area of embedded systems.

Example

Wireless Technology•The term "wireless" refers, in the most basic and obvious sense, to communications sent without wires or cables.

• It is a broad term that encompasses all sorts of wireless technologies and devices, including cellular communications, networking between computers with wireless adapters, and wireless computer accessories.

•Wireless communications travel over the air via electromagnetic waves (radio frequencies, infrared, satellite, etc).

Example

Multi-core Processor

A multi-core processor is an integrated circuit (IC) to which two or more processors have been attached for enhanced performance, reduced power consumption, and more efficient simultaneous processing of multiple tasks.

Example

Multi-language Support

•Embedded system provides us facility of multiple languages. For example ATM is a typical example of embedded system.

•In ATM there are three types of languages are used like Hindi,Punjabi,English.

Example

User Interface

•Visual part of computer application or operating system through which a user interacts with a computer or a software.

•It determines how commands are given to the computer or the program and how information is displayed on the screen.

Example

Open source technology•Open source technology refers to a program in which the source code is available to the general public for use and/or modification from its original design free of charge, i.e., open.

•Open source code is typically created as a collaborative effort in which programmers improve upon the code and share the changes within the community. 

Example

Inter- operatability•Ability to work with each other. In the loosely coupled environment of a service-oriented architecture, separate resources don't need to know the details of how they each work, but they need to have enough common ground to reliably exchange messages without error or misunderstanding.

•Interoperability is when services can interact with each other without encountering such problems.

Example

Data shared with

Automation•Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, switching in telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications with minimal or reduced human intervention. Some processes have been completely automated.

•The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labor, however, it is also used to save energy and materials and to improve quality, accuracy and precision.

Example

Security•Secure DesignCapture system security and performance requirements and develop a secure architecture

•Threat Model AnalysisEnsure your system is analyzed without bias and based on expert knowledge of the attack landscape

•Software & Code TestingUncover serious problems early and avoid crash-causing defects in code

•Crypto ImplementationLeverage our expertise to ensure crypto is implemenented securely

Example

Power consumption

•Power consumption has traditionally been something influenced only by hardware developers. But power consumption depends not only on the hardware, but also on how it is used and how it is controlled by the system software.

•Through power consumption – it becomes possible to test and tune for power optimisation.
