Chapter 1: Architecting High-Performance Embedded Systems
This chapter introduces the elements of embedded system architectures and discusses some key system features that are common across a wide variety of embedded applications. An embedded system generally includes at least one microcontroller or microprocessor, sensors, actuators, a power source, and, in many cases, one or more network interfaces. The chapter continues with an exploration of the relationship between embedded systems and the Internet of Things (IoT).
This chapter emphasizes the necessity for many types of embedded systems to function in a real-time manner and presents the basic embedded system operating sequence of reading from input devices, computing outputs, and updating ...
