EMBEDDED MICROCONTROLLER AND DEVELOPMENT
TOOLS |
|
|
(FOR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE)
|
|
Recent Development in Controllers for various applications and Real Time
Solutions shows that, Embedded Microcontrollers play an important role. These
applications may be in the form of automobile brakes, House hold appliances such
as Washing Machine, Audio Systems are becoming more and more Intelligent and
Sophisticated. The best example is Washing Machine with speech sensor where user
interrogates with the machine for giving commands. The Washing machine will set
and control the entire wash cycle and attendant parameters (water temperature,
detergent feed, spin rate and timings) based on the nature of the
clothes indicated by a setting switch.
|
|
The intelligence of these devices resides in what are called EMBEDDED SYSTEMS.
Embedded Systems are combinations of hardware and software mounted on compact
electronic circuit boards integrated into the devices. Since it has to deal with
a dedicated purpose and the memory space is limited, the software in an embedded
system is usually small - around 20 to 200 KB in size. There are, exceptions,
where the application is complex the embedded software can go upto even 0.5 MB
in size.
|
|
The availability of smaller, more powerful hardware such as system - on chip and
DSPs (Digital signal processors), low cost, denser memory as well as the trend
towards enhanced functionality and networking capability in devices is
increasing the complexity and the size of embedded software. The scope of
embedded has now gone far beyond the traditional real time operating systems.
|
|
Earlier, the Embedded Operating System (EOS) was limited to a handful of real
time operating system. The endors and Original Equipment Manufacturers preferred
their own proprietary EOSs. This is now changing to preference for commercial
EOSs as a result of increasing complexity of embedded applications demanding
more powerful, lower cost hardware and connectivity. We offer commercial
Embedded Operating System for varieties of Embedded hardware.

In the Development Environment like Student's lab, Industries R&D Lab, Prototype
development etc., a collection of embedded CPU cards and many add on cards like
ADC, DAC, DIO etc, will be a great advantages for the development work. Keeping
this requirement in view, a Series of Hardware & Software have been introduced
by us for Embedded hardware and software development for many real time
applications. These cards are designed and manufactured for building many real
Time Projects at an affordable price. Presently, We offer Six Series of Embedded
Development Package Tools for training & Developing an EMBEDDED SYSTEMS LAB.

|
|
Many more cards will be made available very soon for building many versatile
embedded applications.
