Ever wondered how your coffee maker, car, or even your fitness tracker functions seamlessly? In this blog, we’ll unravel the mysteries behind these intricate systems. From the basics to the complexities, join us on a journey to understand “How Embedded Systems Work.” Let’s reveal the magic behind these silent but powerful components that make our modern lives possible.
Embedded Systems are small specialized devices integrated within a larger device. They work quietly behind the scenes, executing pre-programmed tasks. Programming instructions for these systems, also known as firmware, are stored in read-only memory or flash memory chips and run on computers with restricted hardware resources. Their advantages involve-
Due to these features of Embedded systems, it is considered a prominent part of IoT.
Embedded Systems consist of three parts:
Hardware and software components of embedded systems are the unsung heroes behind the seamless operation of countless devices. RTOS supervises application software and provides a mechanism for the processor to conduct processes according to schedule by following a plan to control latencies. It establishes the rules for the application program’s execution. RTOS may not be present in a small-scale embedded system.
To understand its functioning, let’s first focus on the basic structure of embedded systems.
To fulfill a function in an embedded environment, an Embedded System incorporates a robust motherboard inside an industrial enclosure, together with accompanying I/O (Input and Output) and Embedded OS Software. An Embedded Motherboard, which is the feature-rich tiny form factor core of an Embedded System, is the computing element. For the system to work, specialized I/O such as video capture, communication ports, and digital and analog signals are connected to the computer heart.
An industrial-grade PC motherboard with the necessary performance and I/O requirements serves as the computational heart of an embedded system. The embedded motherboard will be in a 3.5 SBC, Pico-ITX, Nano-ITX, or UTX form format. The embedded motherboards are compact structures but seek to offer efficient performance.
A Real-Time Operating System may be the starting point for an Embedded System that requires real-time reaction (Real Time Embedded System) (RTOS). The programmer will create apps in C++, for example, above the RTOS. There may be no RTOS at all for hard real-time reactions, but the system will be programmed directly using ADA, for example. Linux may also be an option, due to a certain driver support available.
