W HAT ARE THE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS ? Embedded systems: Computer system designed to do one or a few dedicated and/or specific functions often with real-time constraints. Embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts Embedded software Software for embedded systems Equipment (hardware) and software part of the product shall be considered together with equipment

W HAT ARE THE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS ? Examples of application of embedded system devices Multimedia equipment (TV, video, digital cameras, audio equipment). Computer and network peripherals (routers, printers, scanners, disks) Home appliances (microwave ovens, rice cookers, washing machines, dryers, air conditioners) Telecommunications terminal equipment (telephones, answering machine, cellular phone) Transportation equipment (automobiles, traffic lights, control / rail vehicles, aircraft, ships) Equipment / FA industrial control (control plants, machine tools, industrial robots) Welfare equipment / medical equipment (blood pressure, ECG, X-rays, CT scans) Military / space (rockets, satellites, missile)

E MBEDDED S OFTWARE D EVELOPMENT S PECIFICS Embedded Software specific Resource constraints Cost limitations especially for the mass products Low RAM, CPU usage Time constrains (real time response). Low power consumption, operating environment (e.g. temperature), weight Real Time OS are used Quality and Reliability Malfunction of the equipment directly related to system malfunction Higher cost of recovery system Customer expectations for equipment reliability

E MBEDDED S OFTWARE D EVELOPMENT S PECIFICS Embedded software development challenges Require deep knowledge of the protocols and standards Co-design and concurrent development of hardware and (potentially) Cross development Support of variety of platforms (hardware, OS). Variety of used processors is much more wider then x86 family Interoperability with other components and implementations

E MBEDDED S OFTWARE D EVELOPMENT S PECIFICS Fun of Embedded software development Purely algorithmic programming Low level of abstraction in difference with.NET, Java, Web etc. Direct work with hardware and OS entities Allows to work on variety of platforms (hardware, OS) Kind of hacking and reverse engineering sometimes Allows to apply all the analytic skills and knowledge Allows to understand deeply how your device works – phone, gadget, computer We work on the border of software and hardware, but we dont use soldering iron Our target is not tiny assembler written code, it can be even RDBMS for small devices

W HAT IS S OFTWARE E NGINEERING ? Legitimate engineering discipline The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is, the application of engineering to software (IEEE definition) Recognized profession Applies Computer Science theory and practical result The aim is: solving of the customers problems with computing means Quality is the crucial point

W HAT IS S OFTWARE E NGINEERING ? System approach Analysis Identify activities and objects Define the system boundary Consider nested systems, systems interrelationship Synthesis of solution Creation of solution for system from subcomponents solutions
