It is a system that has embedded software and computer hardware.
Embedded System
Enumerate the main components of an embedded system. (7)
- Power Supply
- Memory
- Processor
- Timers
- Input/Output Circuits
- Serial Communication Ports
- SASC (System Application - Specific Circuits)
It is a platform used in an embedded system to perform the operation. It is assembled with a microprocessor/microcontroller.
Hardware
Enumerate the four computer languages used for programming in embedded systems.
- Embedded C
- Embedded C++
- Embedded JAVA
- Assembly
Compilers, integrated development environments (IDE), assemblers, simulators, and other programs are used to create codes that “instruct” the hardware to do the assigned job efficiently.
Software
What are the four standard organizations?
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
- The American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
- The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
- The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
(True/False) Embedded Systems have no upgradability limitations.
False
(True/False) Embedded Systems are made for general purposes.
False
Give 2 examples of Embedded System Constraints
Performance, timing, power and cost
(True/False) Some Embedded Systems may not have access to the main power source.
True
These are important ways of protecting consumers.
Standards
Purpose-built – usually does one thing very well. May not provide much additional functionality.
Range
May not have the option for a wired link. Wireless is the limiting factor.
Network
Security features are often an afterthought. Limited integration with existing directory services.
Authentication
Give at least 3 parts of Arduino Uno.
- Reset Switch
- USB Connector
- USB Interface Chip
- Crystal Oscillator
- Voltage Regulator
- Power Port
- Digital Pins
- TX RX LEDs
- Microcontroller
- Analog Input Pins
