5. What is Embedded System?

6. 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”

7. ES - Examples
Examples – Automotive, Satellite communication,
Consumer electronics, Medical, Imaging, Robotics etc..

8. 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”

9. 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

10. ES – Design metrics
 Time to Prototype
 Power
 Performance & Correctness
 Size
 NRE
 Maintainability & Flexibility
 Safety
 Unit Cost
 Time to Market

11. ES - Challenges
 Efficient Inputs/Outputs
 Embedding an OS
 Code optimization
 Testing and debugging

12. Three stories

13. ES - Components

14. Embedded Industry in India

15. 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

16. 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

17. 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
* Reference from NASSCOM report, quoted in popular articles & websites.
Projection provided till the year 2015.

24. Demo: Internet-of-Things (IOT)

25. Internet of Things
Any TIME, Any THING, Any PLACE connection

26. Emx–PIC platform
 Microchip PIC micro-
controller
 Multiple peripheral support
 Explore all possible I/O ports
 Beginner’s view for
Embedded
 Students, Enthusiasts and
Entrepreneurs
 Project ecosystem

27. 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

28. 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.
