EMBEDDED SYSTEM Principles of Logic Design Learning Outcome • At the end of this lesson the students will be able to: • A system whose principal function is not computational, but which is controlled by a computer embedded within it. • A combination of computer hardware and software designed for a specific function. Embedded systems may also function within a larger system. The systems can be programmable or have a fixed functionality. • Embedded System in Radio Frequency ID(RFID) cards contain enough information to identify you to the system. • Cellular phones • Vehicles • Radios • Television • Light sensors • Solar panels • Etc.. • Hardware • Software • Real-Time-Operating System (RTOS) • Single-functioned • Tightly constrained • Reactive and Real time • Microprocessor based • Memory Basic Structure of an Embedded System Types of Embedded systems • Embedded systems are classified into four categories based on their performance and functional requirements:
