The World of Embedded Systems

What is the Embedded System?

Embedded Systems, at a glance, it sounds difficult and something seriously industrious. So, it doesn’t look like familiar thing for a personal user. So am I. Before decide this topic, I had to read articles about this because I was not sure can I deal with it or not.

So, here is the point I decided to introduce this. It used to hot and trendy in tech area for few years ago and its market has been growing and having pretty good forecast and as well as this IoT market, traditional embedded systems already has big market.

Actually, the world of embedded systems is too wide and deep to handle for few blog posts. So, I’ll concentrate to introduce what kinds of things in that world, what can we do with them, and how can we deal with them.

What can we do with it?

Let me see, what is the embedded systems? Embedded system is a category of a computer system which is designed for specific purpose. This is the major difference between the general-purpose computer systems.

Most of embedded systems have combinate structure of an arithmetic processer with memory device and any kinds of input or output peripheral devices. Furthermore, depends on the functionality focus, numerous sub categories exist within.

So, what can we do with embedded systems? The answer is almost everything what we want to do. Embedded systems have many categories, this chart categorise embedded systems as two way, but there are many other theories to categorise embedded systems. But on this post, I am not going to explain those theories. So, I’ll just give some examples based on two simple categories, Big or small. Let’s find embedded systems around us.

 Microscopic World!

At first, let’s try to find something small. In many schools, there is a small device attached in a wall on every classroom. I guess that is communicating with main server in somewhere to open or close doors. If my guess is right, it is a kind of embedded system.

In a vehicle, if your car was not manufactured before 1990s, it must be consisted by an embedded system to control the vehicle which is named electronic control unit. It receives data from car parts and control them for stability and better performance.

Additionally, this might unfamiliar example, in oil industry field, companies use devices for pipes to measure amount of oil from inside of pipes and a set of devices to perform it is an example of embedded systems.

Macroscopic World!

Do the examples are too microscopic? That’s true because most of embedded systems are designed to working quietly and working on behind the scenes. Now let’s find them working on the scene.

Nowadays nobody wants to wait in a bank to deposit their money, instead of that, people use ATM machine. Not only a bank, but also in a fast food restaurant, all the long wait queues are replaced by Kiosk machines and those Kiosk machines are a good example of visible embedded systems. Furthermore, a drone, a smart doorbell, GoPro cam - These are all a kind of embedded systems what we could see frequently in the real world.

What can we use for it?

We have seen some examples of embedded systems around us from small things to big things. Each system has different size and different requirements to fulfill their different purpose. Then, what kind of things are used to structure each embedded system? I’ll introduce two common things for embedded systems. Microcontroller and Single board computer.

 Microcontroller

First, microcontroller. A microcontroller is a tiny computer circuit chip for automatically controlled products and devices. So, most of tiny embedded devices are working on this. Typically, it contains one or more CPUs along with memory and programmable input and output peripherals.

Each microcontroller is designed to respond each different demand, so it sticks with various technical specification. But the most remarkable point is, microcontrollers are designed for economical way and used widely. In 2012, the average price for 8-bit microcontroller was just 70 cents and worldwide sales of 8-bit microcontrollers were around 4 billion. So only 8-bit microcontrollers were sold nearly 4 billion in a year. And also, 4-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers are popular in market too.

Then, let’s see an example of microcontroller. There is a microcontroller has pretty luxurious specification. 16MHz processor with 16KB Flash memory and 512Byte ram and there is no operating system. Then how can we deal with it?

Each manufacturer provides its own way to handle, and programming languages can be varied depends on devices’ support, like if a device has more limited performance, programming language need to be operated in more low-level. So, assembly and C are popular programming languages for microcontrollers.

Then, is there any device for embedded systems what we can handle like a usual computer?

Single board computer

Let me introduce single board computers. A single-board computer is a complete computer built on a single circuit board, with processor, memory, input and output peripherals. Unlike a microcontroller, single board computers have way more powerful features, so they can be used for diversely. Raspberry Pi and Intel Edison are examples of single board computers.

A single board computer is a small stand-alone computer itself. Therefore, we can install operating system like Linux or Windows and can use any kind of programming languages. So, it’s commonly used in embedded systems which needs more performance, especially IoT stuffs.

 What am I going to do?

On this post, I delivered a piece of information about the world of embedded systems. So, on the next post, I would like to demonstrate two types of embedded systems what I introduced here. First, I’ll show using a microcontroller with programming to execute simple task. And then, raspberry pi will be demonstrated with its add-on devices to show more powerful features!

Market Definition of Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM)

DRAM is a form of random-access semiconductor register that holds each information bit in a memory block that typically comprises a small capacitor and a transformer, both of which are based largely on metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) tech. Although the bulk of DRAM memory cell layouts includes a capacitor and a transistor, a few do not. A capacitor can be charged or discharged when utilized in a structure; these two indicators are used to represent the two parameters of a bit, which are conventionally referred to as 0 and 1. This recharge process is what sets dynamic random-access memory apart from SRAM.
