Course : EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

-Web Resources
-Introduction – Embedded Systems
-Typical MPSoC : a platform with CPUs, GPUs, DSP, …
-Systems on Chip
-Computational
-Interact (sense, manipulate, communicate) with the external world: sensors, actuators
-Reactive: at the speed of the environment
-Heterogeneity: hardware/software blocks, mixed architectures
-Networked: shared, adaptive, sensor networks (buildings, environmental monitoring), smart products, wearable computing
-Flexibility: can run/implement multiple applications sequentially or concurrently - concurrency
-Reprogrammability/reconfigurability: flexibility in upgrading, bug fixing, product differentiation, product customization
-Part of a larger system (system within system)
-Performance and constraints:
–Timing (frequency, latency, throughput)
–Cost, power, area, weight, temperature, reliability
