What is Embedded System?

Let us ponder…

• What do you understand as Embedded System?

• Name few examples of Embedded System from our daily usage

• How different they are from a general purpose system (GPS)?

• What difference can be there between multiple Embedded Systems?

“Any Hardware System which is intended to do a specific

task can be called as an Embedded System”

ES - Examples

Examples – Automotive, Satellite communication,

Consumer electronics, Medical, Imaging, Robotics etc..

ES - Classifications

Embedded systems can be classified into four different categories:

• Stand alone Embedded System – Performs a single and specific functionality

• Real time Embedded System – Provides real time guarantee in terms of response

• Network appliances – High focus on packet processing

• Mobile devices – Hand held devices

Embedded systems – “Choice-points”

• Embedded Systems type and expectations drastically vary

• In order to meet customer needs specific “Choice-points” to be decided

• These are popularly known as “Design parameters”

ES – Choice points

Let us take an example of Mobile Vs. Automotive Embedded device

Try to compare various choice points

For each choice made corresponding compromise factor to be considered

Optimizing every other parameter is not a possible option

ES – Design metrics

Embedded Industry in India

Embedded industry

in India

Phase- I

• Outsourced product development from India

• Purely cost advantage

• Project or contract based work execution

Phase - II

• Offshore development centers of major MNCs (ex: Intel, TI, HP etc…)

• Task level ownership

• Augmenting teams in the head-quarters

Phase – III

• Complete product development from India

• Domestic market needs

• Higher value added activities – product ownership, product launch, innovation, IP creation

Why Embedded?

Indian Tech industry’s paradigm shift

Embedded Systems is heart of product development

Rewarding career experience : Embedding Intelligence

Inside a Box’

Skill shortage in India and the need for ‘Quality’

engineers

One among the top paid jobs in the industry today

Market size

About 6,80,000 embedded professionals requirement*

Mainly for embedded software (firmware)

Global R & D opportunity is $89 billion*

India can contribute $15 billion in terms of R & D*

Apart from R & D, opportunity exists in manufacturing,

local market consumption and India specific solutions

Myth of “only for ECE / EEE people”

Both local & global opportunities

Use case - Industry

This application to demonstrate automating industrial workflows in the area of machine management especially in growing demography like India.

The application is interfaced with a stepper motor and IR sensor. It show how a stepper motor can be driven and control conveyor system, which is a typical use in beverage industry.

The user can count the objects moving on the conveyor belt using the IR sensor and keep track of total production, thereby automating industry workflows

Use case - Home

In our daily life we do certain regular thing like

switching on the water heater early morning to take

a bath or say switching on the gate lights every day

at dusk and switch off at dawn.

Our application will a simple demo on how we can

achieve this with Emx PIC platform by interfacing

with a lamp and PC fan.

This will demonstrate simple and effective home

automation.
