A field programmable gate array (FPGA) utilizes an array of logic blocks, which can be configured by the user. The term “field programmable” implies that the device is programmable outside the factory where it is produced.
The internal architecture of … Read More
We have a number of design metrics you need to put into consideration when designing embedded systems.
The following are some of the key design metrics used in embedded systems:
The instruction execution time in the system measures the … Read More
Each specific IO device can be connected to others using specific interfaces, for instance, an IO device connects and is interfaced to an LCD controller, keyboard controller, or print controller using specific interface. Bus communication simplifies the number of connections … Read More
Embedded systems have varied applications for example, they are used in smart cards, computer networking, digital consumer electronics, telecommunications, satellites, just to name a few.
We may classify embedded systems applications into 3 categories:
Embedded Java is a Java version that makes large program development simpler by providing complete object-oriented programming (OOP) features in Java. JVM is configured to minimize memory requirements and run-time overheads in the system.
Embedded System programmers use Java in … Read More
Java as a high level programming language has grown over the years into a full-fledged language with an enormous user base. It is used extensively for instance, in building web applications with frameworks such as Spring Boot. Java has also … Read More
Embedded systems can be classified into three types:
These are systems that are designed with a single 8-bit or 16-bit microcontroller. They have small hardware … Read More
System-on-chip (SoC) is a system on VLSI chip that has all the required analog as well as digital circuits, processors and software.
At the heart of most SoC designs are an embedded proprietary RISC processor and a block of RAM … Read More
An embedded system can defined as a system that has embedded software and computer-hardware, which makes it a system dedicated for an application (s) or specific part of an application or product or a part of a larger system.
