Embedded systems :

Embedded systems have both hardware and software that work together by triggering
components such as actuators and sensors to perform tasks.These are used to run specific tasks
with low power consumption .This is also a dedicated computing component that redides at the
edge of an IoT product .
For example , embedded systems are used as networked thermostats in Heating, Ventilation
and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, in Home Automation embedded systems are used as
wired or wireless networking to automate and control lights, security, audio/visual systems,
sense climate change, monitoring, etc.
Charactersticts of embedded system :
Embedded system perform specific or small task of a large system .Full system of a mobile phone
is not a embedded system but it is a combination of some small systems(called embedded system)
that together allow it to perform a variety of general purpose tasks.This is actually a programmable
computers which is designed for specific purposes not for any general purpose.

➢ Embedded system generally consists of hardware ,software and firmware.

➢ Embedded is designed for performing a specific function or task within the system
,not for various tasks.
➢ This is micro-processor or microcontroller based or both based which give the system
compute power.
➢ This system often used for sensing and real time computing in IoT devices,when that is
connected to internet do not require a user to operate.
➢ Software, hardware and firmware are depends on the function and its
complixity.Sometimes Requiredto perform their function under a time constant to keep
the large system functioning properly.

Hardware :
Embedded systems hardware mainly based on microprocessors and microcontrollers
.Microprocessors are almost same as microcontrollers which is integrated with basic computing
components like memory chips, digital signal processors, but microcontrollers have built in
those into one chip. Microcontrollers include not only a CPU, but also memory and peripherals
such as flash memory, RAM or serial communication ports.

Software :
Generally embedded industrial-grade system as well as IoT requires simple software with
little memory but sometimes it differs with system complexity .
Firmware :
Normally firmware is used in complex embedded systems to connect the software to the
hardware. Firmware is a type of software that interfaces directly with the hardware.Simple
system run with direct chips software but in complicated system ,we need some firmware under
more complex software application and operating systems.

Embedded System Sollutions with IoT:

Normally IoT device require a rich set of wireless connectivity options and networking
protocols. For smart appliances to automobiles,connected device also require scalability for
resource constrained devices,feature rich graphics,improved bettery life,with faster and secqure
data transmission ,authentication,and restful architecture support for cloud integration.
Embedded system and software sollutions ensure rich feature in IoT and connected devices
need to reliability,security and low power consumption requirements of the demanding
markets.We need to enables the ability to develop and manage these embedded system safely
and securely.

Eembedded systems role in IoT :

The growth potential for the embedded industry is enormous. And the path forward is
becoming clearer every day. It’s time that we start building IoT systems, and provide value to
our customers.
The latest embedded technologies will need some alterations in the conventional embedded
system design and architecture so that it suits real-time operations, the small size of the unit,
consumes less power and is cost-effective. When microcontroller, SoC and RISC are used, it
increases the scope in IoT.
It helps in easy management of hardware resources and processes of data. Hosts applications
that too on a real-time basis. It clarifies the real-time task processing time, interrupts latency,
reliability for a long period for both hardware and software applications .That works
specifically for devices and networks with low power and memory constraints. This makes a
great contribution to IoT in present as well as in the future along with enhanced reliability
degree and time consistency in between application task acceptance and its completion.
The future of embedded technology in IoT :
Embedded system is an important part of all the lastest electronics components.Embedded
system are utilized to run certain tasks with low power consumption and with less memory
.Embedded technology is used are a remote control, sensors , microwave oven, actuators etc.
they are used in lagge device for doing some certain function like HVAC systems they are
used as network thermostats.With using embedded system home automation system also
utilized as wired or wireless networking automation and also control of security ,monitoring
etc.IoT transform our some of major areas with embedded technology like Real time operating
system, microcontroller, microprocessor along with memory chip, footprints, open-source
communities, and developers. IoT is slowly niggling into our lives with effictiveness and will
be more persuasive in the future.There will more revolutionization of all interaction between
embedded devices in future with IoT.
Sometimes IoT software sollutions have largely had to be built from scratch with a large
amount of customization with specific requirements, for this the cost as well ase the complexity
of development and deterred many prospective entrants to the market. Developer tools are
missing that increase the costs associated with building the foundational infrastructure the
“plumbing” of their sollutions. So the companies try to focus on optimizing the core
functionality and bring sollutions to market more quickly and with less cost.
With addressing these challenges with new solutions that have the potential to expand the
market for IoT by reducing the cost and complexity of development.

IoT builds on an embedded systems base :

Some embedded system is very simple some others are relatively complex , some are either
supplant human decision making or offer capabilities beyond what a human could provide.For
example aviation systems,including those used in drones,are able to intrigrate sensor data and
act upon that information faster than a human could , permitting new kins of operating features.
The embedded system is rapidly growing and is expected to continue this growing and
driven in large part by the IoT. IoT applications like wearable drones, smart homes, smart
buildings, video surveillance, 3D printers , smart transportation, are expected to fuel embedded
system growth.
Applications of embedded systems:

Embedded systems will also be at the cornerstone for the deployment of many Internet of
Things (IoT) solutions, especially within certain industry verticals and Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT) applications.
Most of the company in embedded system development are trying to hardware and software
developments are aiming to bring this transformations into their products to take the advantage
of growing IoT market.The areas are transforming with Real Time Operating System
(ROTS)And microcontrollers, microprocessors with memory footprints and networking,Open
source Communities and developers.
➢ Embedded systems applied on IoT based energy meater reading through internet .By
using this we know the power consumption uit and its cost over the internet. Digital
energy meter as well as microcontrollers ,sensors are used for designing this embedded
project.
➢ Patient body temperature monitoring remotely using Internet of Things is also a
application of embedded system .
➢ Using passport system using smart card also a application of embedded system.
