CS4101 嵌入式系統概論Design and Development 金仲達教授 國立清華大學資訊工程學系 Recap More and more physical things will be augmented or embedded with computing Things become “smarter” Computing becomes ubiquitous An embedded system is a system that is embedded with programmable computers for specific applications of that system Why embedded systems? Faster, more flexible development at lower cost More complex functionalities Suppose You Have a Product Idea To develop a device that can record, for each day, the number of stairs that the user has climbed up or down From this number, we can then calculate the amount of CO2 saved and calories burned Let us call this device stair counter How to start from here? Typical Design Flow Requirements Plain language description of what the user wants and expects to get e.g. to develop a device that can record, for each day, the number of stairs that the user has climbed up or down Describe how the end product is usedby the user May be developed in several ways: talking directly to customers talking to marketing representatives providing prototypes to users for comment Requirements Often need to know target customers and business model Stair counter as an add-on of cell phone Stair counter as a consumer product Stair counter as a gift … Requirements Functional requirements:Internals as a black box and describe only the outputs as a function of input; Show number of stairs climbed up or down Show amount of CO2 saved Do not count in other cases Non-functional requirements: Performance, reliability, etc. Size, weight, etc. Power consumption Cost … Requirements Form Specification More precise, usually quantitative description of the system: Should not imply a particular architecture List assumptions e.g., update screen 0.25 sec after eachstep, error rate 95%, cost $300 May include functional and non-functional elements May be executable or may be in mathematical form for proofs e.g. UML (Unified Modeling Language) Architecture Design Wh
