Embedded System Practical QA
1. What is system ?
Ans: A system is an arrangement in which all its unit assemble work together according to a set of rules. It can also be defined as a way of working, organizing or doing one or many tasks according to a fixed plan.
2. What are the three components of the embedded system ?
Ans: An embedded system has three components −
It has hardware.
It has application software.
It has Real Time Operating system (RTOS) that supervises the application software and provide mechanism to let the processor run a process as per scheduling by following a plan to control the latencies.
3. What are the characteristics of an embedded System ?
Ans: Characteristics of an Embedded System
Single-functioned − An embedded system usually performs a specialized operation and does the same repeatedly. For example: A pager always functions as a pager.
Tightly constrained − All computing systems have constraints on design metrics, but those on an embedded system can be especially tight.
4. What are the advantages & disadvantages of an Embedded System ?
Ans: Advantages
Easily Customizable
Low power consumption
Low cost
Enhanced performance
Disadvantages
High development effort
Larger time to market
5. What is the basic structure of an embedded system ?
Ans: Basic Structure of an Embedded System
Sensor − It measures the physical quantity and converts it to an electrical signal which can be read by an observer or by any electronic instrument like an A2D converter. A sensor stores the measured quantity to the memory.
A-D Converter − An analog-to-digital converter converts the analog signal sent by the sensor into a digital signal.
Processor & ASICs − Processors process the data to measure the output and store it to the memory.
D-A Converter − A digital-to-analog converter converts the digital data fed by the processor to analog data
Actuator − An actuator compares the output given by the D-A Converter to the actual (expected) output stored in it and stores the approved output.
