5. WHAT WILL WE DISCUSS About Embedded System Definition of Embedded System Types of Embedded System Micro processor Micro Controller DSP RTOS VLSI

6. INTRODUCTION Embedded system is a combination of software and hardware. An Embedded system is a system, that has a computing device embedded into it. Embedded systems are designed around a µ C which integrates memory & peripherals .

7. WHY ‘EMBEDDED’? It is embedded because the processor is ‘inside’ some other system. For Example a microprocessor is ‘embedded’ into your TV, car, or appliance. The consumer need not think about how to make it perform or process

8. EMBEDDING A COMPUTER CPU mem input output analog analog embedded computer

9. EXAMPLES OF EMBEDDED SYSTEMS Automotive systems: electronic dashboards, ABS brakes, transmission controls. Medical instrument’s controls: CAT scanners, implanted heart monitors, etc. Controls for digital equipment: CD players, TV remote, programmable sprinklers, household appliances, etc.

10. CHARACTERISTICS OF EMBEDDED SYSTEMS Sophisticated functionality. Real-time operation. Low manufacturing cost. Low power. Designed to tight deadlines by small teams.

11. EMBEDDED SYSTEMS - EARLY HISTORY Late 1940’s: MIT Whirlwind computer was designed for real-time operations. Originally designed to control an aircraft simulator. First microprocessor was Intel 4004 in early 1970’s. HP-35 calculator used several chips to implement a microprocessor in 1972. Automobiles used microprocessor-based engine controllers starting in 1970’s. Control fuel/air mixture, engine timing, etc. Multiple modes of operation: warm-up, cruise, hill climbing, etc. Provides lower emissions, better fuel efficiency.

12. Some history… The first Embedded System: Apollo Guidance Computer

13. Difference between a Micro Processor and a Micro Controller Peripherals Speed Bitwise Instruction Set

14. Types of Micro Controller 70 TYPES OF MICRO CONTROLLERS Some of the examples are Microchip Intel Texas Philips Samsung etc …

15. What is PIC PIC stands for Peripheral Interfacing Controller developed by MICROCHIP technology INC, USA PIC is a very popular Microcontroller world wide. Microchip is the first manufacture of 8 pin RISC MCU.

16. PIC ARCHITECTURE BACKGROUND Microcontroller Very little external support hardware. Most RAM, ROM and peripherals on chip. “ Computer on a chip”, or “System on chip” (SOC) E.g., PIC = Peripheral Interface Controller

17. PIC Architecture: Background We’re used to the Von-Neuman Architecture Used in: 80X86 (PCs), 8051, 68HC11, etc.) Only one bus between CPU and memory RAM and program memory share the same bus and the same memory, and so must have the same bit width Bottleneck: Getting instructions interferes with accessing RAM CPU 8 Memory (Program & Data)

18. PIC Architecture: Background PICS USE THE HARVARD ARCHITECTURE Used mostly in RISC CPUs (we’ll get there) Separate program bus and data bus: can be different widths! For example, PICs use: Data memory (RAM): a small number of 8bit registers Program memory (ROM): 12bit, 14bit or 16bit wide (in EPROM, FLASH, or ROM) CPU 12 14 16 Memory (Data) 8 Memory (Program)

19. Use the PIC micro ® Micro Controller Technology You Need...! FLASH for your re-programmable applications OTP for you production line configured applications ROM for your stable code applications Need to migrate from one part to another? Microchip makes it easy... even across different technologies

20. PIC µC SPEED COMPARISON

21. DEVELOPMENT PHASES Designing such systems requires a combination of hardware and software. Development phases include Understanding the electronic design Designing & developing the software Developing the hardware

22. DEVELOPMENT PHASES... Debugging and simulation Embedding Process Testing

23. UNDERSTANDING THE ELECTRONIC DESIGN What kind of external circuitry? Requirement of external circuitry Architecture of µ C Which µ C ?

24. DESIGNING THE SOFTWARE Choosing the computer language Deciding the flow of operation Determining the modules in the system

25. Software: Instruction Set Let’s see what makes PICs tick! See handout: “PIC 16CXX Instruction Set Summary” Program counter increments once each Tcyc to “grab” the next instruction Remember, instructions are stored in program memory and are completely separate from RAM (“File registers”).

26. Software - Programmers Model Program Memory “ Burned” in by programmer (can’t change during execution). Stored instructions, addresses and “literals” (numbers). <- 12/14/16 bits -> Hardware Stack Stores addresses for subroutines Program Counter-PCL (PCH) Status Special Purpose Registers I/O pin states, peripheral registers, etc. General Purpose Registers RAM or “data memory”. Variables are stored here. W “Register” <- 8 bits ->

27. TESTING The µ C is placed in the appropriate electronic circuitry. Test result at various points in the circuit are taken and compared with expected output. External factors that may affect the electronic circuitry should be taken care of.

28. DEVELOPING THE SOFTWARE Coding is done in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)- MPLAB Different compilers available are HITECH C

29. DEBUGGING AND SIMULATION Simulation is done by giving test inputs,which is called stimulus input. Debugging can be done manually or using an IN-CIRCUIT DEBUGGER. Simulation tool used is MPLAB-SIM

30. EMBEDDING PROCESS Fusing of the compiled code into the µC is termed as Embedding Process Embedding process is executed by using a device – PICSTART PLUS Programmer It gives a summary of how many addresses are programmed & success or failure of the embedding process

31. ROUTINES Software development Product architecture & development. Hardware circuit design. Coding in Assembly and C Language. PICmicro Training. Design consultation .
