Embedded System Overview

Embedded systems call for real-time operation, reliability, maintenance and cost-effectiveness, which therefore places heavy demands on software (user interfaces, data processing, and machine control) and hardware (I/O, Asics, DSP, FPGA). This explains why Embedded Systems is broadly divided into two major parts, as follows: 1. Embedded Software and 2. Embedded Hardware the FPGA design for system on chip and PCB Design etc. are two major segments of Embedded Hardware. Embedded Software involves Software development which includes mobile application development and Embedded Operating Systems. The Operating System (OS) is one of the most important middleware components that abstracts the underlying hardware and presents a simplified interface to the software application. In embedded systems such as smart-phones, automotive, and avionics, the OS also presents a simplified interface to the multitude of sensors and actuators that these systems interact with. Such systems are highly resource-constrained, therefore, the OS must, be efficient in processor and memory usage. Additionally, the ES OS must also support real-time scheduling, to provide service guarantees on systems‟ timing constraints.

Core Components

The major building blocks of an embedded system are listed below:

  1. Microcontrollers / digital signal processors (DSP)
  2. Integrated chips Real time operating system (RTOS) – including board support package and device drivers
  3. Industry-specific protocols and interfaces
  4. Printed circuit board assembly

Application Areas

  1. Televisions:

    A television has an embedded system that allows users to change channels while sitting just a few feet away. The user sends the input via the wireless remote control, the microcontroller in the TV receives the input via the receiver, the microcontroller recognizes which button is pressed and executes the output on the screen. In this case, the input device is a remote control and buttons on the TV, and the output device is a TV monitor.

  2. Digital Calculator

    : It is purely an embedded system that collects input from the user via buttons/keys on it, the microcontroller inside it performs the calculations according to the pressed keys and sends an output to the display. Again, the input device is the keyboard, the brain is the microcontroller, and the output device is the display.

  3. Air Conditioner:

    An embedded system is in an air conditioner that collects information from the user for the desired temperature via wireless remote control and decides when to turn the air conditioner on and off to maintain the desired temperature set by the user, 2 input devices are used here, one is remote controlled to capture the desired temperature from the user. The second is the temperature sensor, which continuously senses the current room temperature and sends input to the microcontroller. When the room temperature falls below the desired temperature, the microcontroller turns the compressor OFF and when the room temperature falls above the desired temperature, it turns the compressor on.

  4. Microwave
  5. Mobile phone
  6. Laptop
  7. Audio player
  8. Digital Camera
  9. Printer
  10. Automatic functions in cars
  11. Traffic lights
  12. Digital thermometer
  13. Wi-Fi router Modems
  14. Geyser with automatic functions
  15. Automatic faucets in hotels

Also, there’s one more task for you, knowing that you can automate anything with embedded systems. So try to figure out what things you can automate to solve problems in real life. The above example is just crazy, embedded systems is an ocean, there are a large number of products in medical electronics, aerospace, automotive, defense, toys, consumer electronics, food industry, telecommunications, industrial machinery, space, agriculture, construction , simply put term everywhere.

Design of Modern digital Metering system:

A key aspect of embedded systems engineering is the connection to digital signal processing. It is important to note that computers work with digital signals and the processing and generation of results in digital form empowers both users and developers Score the processed data numerically. That explains why the digitization of metering System leads to much better development and user-friendly device First and foremost, the high-resolution Sigma-Delta Analog-to-digital conversion capability of the PIC Microcontrollers are used to digitize voltage and current felt. These values ​​are then appropriate manipulated to get their decimal equivalents. Calculate the product of the decimal voltage and Current gives the instantaneous power in watts and its Integration over time gives the energy consumed, i.e. usually measured in kilowatt hours (kWh).

Voltage Sensing & Transformation Stage:

There are many electrical signals around us analog nature. That means a lot varies directly with another crowd. The first lot is mostly tension while this could be second magnitude temperature, pressure, light, force or acceleration. When designing the embedded systems Digitized measuring device, the voltage measurement is carried out with a Voltage step-down transformer with a Primary to Secondary Turns Ratio No. of 55:1. That Voltage from the house power distribution box is connected to its primary winding Transformer. The energy meter is designed to measure maximum of 240V, 100A AC signal. This tension is then converted into an equivalent between the Ranges from 0 to 5V DC. With the transformation System present, other inputs between 0 and 240 V AC are also automatically transformed to their 0-5V DC equivalent. This is due to the maximum voltage Level the analog pin of the PIC microcontroller can Measurement is 5V DC. Using the 240V input as an example, from Equation 1 above we can deduce that the transformer sinks an input voltage (Vp) of 240 VAC in 4.35V R.M.S on its secondary pin and also, From equation 2 we can calculate the peak power Voltage of the transformer to 6.2 V peak. This summit Secondary terminal output voltage passed through the Rectifier circuit will drop 1.2 volts thereby supplying a total of about 5V DC to the analog pin of the MCU.

Current Sensing & Transformation Stage:

For current sensing and transformation, a toroidal current transformer is used. The current transformer (C.T) is an “instrument transformer” that is designed to produce an alternating current in its secondary winding which is proportional to the current being measured in its primary.

turn ratio
turn ratio
secondary current
secondary current

therefore, the toroidal current transformer is designed with 1 turnings in its primary coil, and 2000 in its secondary coil. Substituting these winding parameters into equation 4 above, at a maximum primary current of 100A in the primary terminal, 50mA will be produced in the secondary. The current transformer is also designed to have an inbuilt burden resistor of 87.6 ohms, hence, the 5A produced, will generate 4.384V RMS which translate 6.2Vpeak by applying (2) above. As in the case of the voltage sensor, the rectifier circuit drops 1.2V out of the 6.2V peak, leaving the output at about 5V DC. This 5V DC is then supplied to the AN3 pin of the PIC18F4550.

New trends in embedded electronics will change the way electronics are programmed and increase the impact of machine learning on technology. The global embedded systems market will grow significantly in the coming years, reaching more than $ 930 billion a year by 2027.The proliferation of embedded electronics has led to new design software and techniques specific to those systems.

Python Grows in popularity Among Embedded System Developers

Python has been a popular computer language for decades, but it is gaining new popularity among embedded system developers. Language is becoming increasingly common in modern electronics, and Python characters are found in the construction of many popular programs. This diversity has put Python in a good position to take the lead in integrated electronic programming over the next decade.

Universities have even recognized Python’s popularity, and older languages ​​such as C and C ++ are no longer taught in university courses. The simplicity of Python is part of its value — even in embedded systems, it is not necessary to know many complex sub-programs. Editors of any specialty can contribute to Python programs easily. This opens embedded systems for too many interactive systems. The more program planners are able to collaborate, the faster they can develop new projects and advance technology.

Machine learning and Embedded Electronics

In the next decade, machine learning could impact many industries through embedded electronic devices, from business to software development. Machine learning is powerful in many areas of engineering and technology, but the Internet of Things (IoT) is probably the most exciting. Smaller embedded controllers are a much newer way to communicate seamlessly with the cloud and require less bandwidth than previous technologies.
