TYPES OF EMBEDDED SYSTEM

SMALL SCALE EMBEDDED SYSTEM

These systems are designed with a single 8- or 16-bit micro controller they have little hardware and software complexities and involve board-level design. They may even be battery operated. When developing embedded software for these, an editor, assembler and cross assembler, specific to the micro-controller or processor used, are the main programming tools. Usually, ‗C‘ is used for developing these systems. ‗C‘ program compilation is done into the assembly, and executable codes are then appropriately located in the system memory. The software has to fit within the memory available and keep in view the need to limit power dissipation when system is running continuously. 

Examples

• vital signs monitoring
• Motor and cruise control system
• Body or Engine safety
• Entertainment and multimedia in car
• E-Com and Mobile access
• Robotics in assembly line
• Wireless communication
• Mobile computing and networking
• Digital Cameras
• Set top Boxes
• High Definition TVs
• DVDs

MEDIUM SCALE EMBEDDED SYSTEM

These types of embedded systems design with one or 16 or 32 micro-controllers, RISCs or DSPs. These types of installed programs have the complexity and complexity of the software. By developing embedded software for embedded centralized programs, the major programming tools are C, C ++, JAVA, Visual C ++, RTOS, debugger, source code code tool, simulator and IDE.

EXAMPLES

• Security systems
• Telephone and banking
• Defense and aerospace
• Communication

SOPHISTICATED EMBEDDED SYSTEM

  

These types of installed programs have a high degree of software and hardware, which may require ASIPs, IPs, PLAs, non-scalable or programmable processors. They are used for cutting-edge applications that require hardware and software Co-design and materials to assemble into a storage system.

EXAMPLE

• Traffic Signal Control System
•  Street Light Control
• video game consoles
