Aim: The subject aims to cover the concepts of embedded systems, their design and applications, programming models and Interprocess communication.
Objectives: The student would be able to understand and use in embedded systems, device drivers, software engineering practices in embedded systems development and Inter process communication.
Introduction to Embedded Systems: Processor in the System – Software Embedded into a system – Exemplary Embedded Systems – Embedded System-On-chip and in VLSI Circuit Processor and Memory Organization – Structural Units in a Processor – Processor Selection for an Embedded System – Memory Devices – Memory Selection for an Embedded System – Allocation of Memory to Program Segments and Blocks and Memory Map of a System – Direct Memory Access – Interfacing Processor, Memories and I/O Devices.
Devices and Buses for Device Networks: I/O Devices – Timer and Counting Devices – Serial Communication Using the I2 C, ‘CAN’ and Advanced I/O Buses between the Networked Multiple Devices – Host System or Computer Parallel Communication between the Networked I/O Multiple Devices Using the ISA, PCI, PCI – X and Advanced Buses
Device Drivers and Interrupts Servicing Mechanism: Device Drivers – Parallel Port Device Drivers in a System – Serial Port Device Drivers in a System – Device Drivers for Internal Programmable Timing Devices – Interrupt Servicing (Handling) Mechanism – Context and the periods for Context – Switching, Deadline and Interrupt Latency
Program Modeling Concepts: Single and Multiprocessor Systems Software – Development Process- Modeling Processes for Software Analysis Before Software Implementation – Programming Models for Event Controlled or Response Time Constrained Real Time Programs – Modeling of Multiprocessor Systems
Software Engineering Practices: Embedded Software Development Process-Software Algorithm Complexity – Software Development Process Life Cycle and its Models – Software Analysis – Software Design – Software Implementation – Software Testing, Validating and Debugging – Real Time Programming Issues During the Software Development Process – Software Project Management – Software Maintenance –Unified Markup Language (UML) – Interprocess Communication & Synchronization of processes, Task & Threads – Multiple processes in an Application – Problems of Sharing Data by Multiple Tasks & Routines – Interprocess Communication.
