Hello friends,
Embedded system is the ever-green buzz in industries, but as understand with my few recent communication with many students even few working professionals does not know about the embedded system. Here I will explain what is embedded system? What all are the types of embedded system? Where you can get a job in an embedded system? What is the job opportunity in an embedded system? How you can learn the embedded system? and etc.
So what is embedded system? This most common question asked by our student. Embedded system is a combination of Hardware and software.

Types of Embedded Systems:

The combination of hardware and software in a system, we can call as the embedded system. In any electronic system, it requires a hardware platform which is made by a microprocessor or microcontroller. The Embedded system hardware consists of the user interface, Input / Output interfaces, display, and memory, etc. Usually, an embedded system consists of following elements which are shown in below figure.

Embedded system can be classified into different categories based on their performance, requirements for the operation, the performance of the microcontroller.

Types of Embedded Systems, embedded systems training in bangalore

Embedded systems are classified into 4 categories based on their performance and functional requirements.

  • Standalone
  • Real-time
  • Networked
  • Mobile

And based on their performance of microcontroller this field is again subdivided into

  • Small-scale
  • Medium scale
  • Sophisticated

1. Standalone:

In this category, systems don’t need any host like a computer. It can work on its own. It will receive the inputs through its input ports and calculate it and gives the output through output ports. Examples for this types are a microwave oven, digital camera, DVD players, etc..

2.Real-time:

These type of embedded systems will give the output in particular time. All these works will finish within the deadline of time. Examples for this, we use real-time embedded systems in avionics, railway, ships, traffic control for highways, automotive etc.

3.Networked:

These type of embedded systems will receive the resources (data as inputs and output) by using a network. It can be LAN, WAN or internet, wired or wireless. This is the fastest growing working field. The embedded web server is a system wherein all embedded devices are connected to a web server and accessed and controlled by a web browser. Example, Home automation using LAN networking.

4.Mobile Embedded Systems:

Mobile embedded systems we are using in everyday life. Embedded devices like cell phones, mobiles, digital cameras, mp3 players and personal digital assistants, etc. are the examples for this field. One of the limitations in this field is its resources and memory.

5. Small-scale:

By using the battery for power supply and 8/16 bit microcontroller we can develop small-scale embedded systems. For developing software for small-scale embedded systems, mainly we needed programming tools are an editor, assembler, cross assembler and integrated development environment (IDE).

6. Medium Scale:

These types of embedded systems design with a single 16 or 32-bit microcontroller, RISCs or DSPs. These types of embedded systems have both hardware and software complexities. For developing embedded software for medium scale embedded systems, the main programming tools are C, C++, JAVA, Visual C++, RTOS, debugger, source code engineering tool, simulator, and IDE.

7. High-end embedded systems:

These types of embedded systems have enormous hardware and software complexities that may need ASIPs, IPs, PLAs, scalable or configurable processors. They are used for high-end applications that need hardware and software Co-design and components which needed to assemble in the final system.

Based on above classifications, here you can find different fields of embedded systems.
