AN INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEM APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Embedded Systems are the future of our technology world. At the core of every significant technological piece lie elements of embedded systems. These range from self-controlled cars, intelligent building designs, automated factory processes, aeronautic gears to smart grid energy systems. As the name implies, Embedded Systems (ES) are systems working within other systems to make them more efficient and effective. Embedded System is a kind of computer system that consists of software and hardware and performs a specific job. There are two kinds of Embedded System Development Tools, for hardware and for software which are MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for software and Proteus for hardware MPLAB IDE is an expandable, highly configurable software program that incorporates powerful tools to help you discover, configure, develop, debug and qualify embedded designs for most of our microcontrollers and digital signal controllers. MPLAB IDE works seamlessly with the MPLAB development ecosystem of software and tools, many of which are completely free. The Proteus Design Suite is a proprietary software tool suite used primarily for electronic design automation. The software is used mainly by electronic design engineers and technicians to create schematics and electronic prints for manufacturing printed circuit boards.
