Embedded Systems Projects|Embedded Projects

Code Shoppy provides academic as well as industrial projects in Embedded systems.An embedded system is an electronic system that contains at least one controlling device, i.e. “the brain”, but in such a way that it is hidden from the end user. That is, the controller is embedded so far in the system that usually users don’t realize its presence. Arudhra Innovaions also offers courses on Embedded Systems through practical training. 

DESIGN PROCESS:

An embedded system design  process aimed  at  two  objectives. First,  it  will  give us  an introduction  to the various  steps  in  embedded  system design  before we  delve  into  them  in 
more  details. Second, it  will  allow  us  to  consider  the  design  methodology itself. A  design methodology  is  important  for  three  reasons. These  are,


1.It  allows  us  to  keep  a  score  card  on  a  design  to  ensure  that  we  have  done  everything  we      need  to do,  such  optimizing  performance.
2.It  allows  us  to  develop  computer-aided  design tools.
3.A design  methodology  makes  it  much  easier  for  members  of  a  design  team  to    communication.

In  this  top-down view, we  start  with  the   system  requirements. In  the  next  step,  specification , we  create  a more detailed  description of  what  we  want.  But  the specification  states  only  how the  system  behaves, not  how  it  is  built. The  details  of  the  system’s  internals  begin  to  take shape  when  we  develop  the  architecture,  which  gives  the  system  structure  in  terms of  large components. Once  we  know  the  components  we  need,  we  can  design  those  components, including  both  software  modules  and  any  specialized  hardware  we  need. Based  on  those components  we  can  finally  build  a  complete  system.


In   this  section  we  will consider  design  from  the  top-down, we  will  begin  with  the  most abstract  description  of  the  system  and  conclude  with  concrete  details. The   alternative is  a bottom-up  view  in  which  we  start  with  components  to  build  a  system. But  the steps  in  the designing  process  are  only  one  axis  along  which  we  can  view  embedded  system  design:

                    1.Manufacturing  cost
                    2.Performance
                    3.Power  consumption
                    4.User  interface

We  must  also  consider  the  tasks we  need  to  perform  at  every  step  in  the  design  process. At each  step  in  the design,  we  add  detail:

1.We  must  analyse  the  design  at each  step  to  determine  how  we  can  meet  the  specifications.
2.We  must  then  refine  the  design  to  add  detail.
3.Add  we  must  verify  the  design  to  ensure  that  it  still  meets  all  system  goals,  such  as  cost,      speed, and  so  on.

APPLICATIONS :

Nearly  99% of  the  processors  manufactured  end  up  in  embedded  systems.  The embedded systems  market  is  one  of  the  highest  growth  areas  as  these  systems  are  used  in  very market segments  are:consumer  electronics,  office  automation, industrial  automation,military,bio medical engineering,wireless communications data communications,telecommunications,transportation, and so on.
