  35. Some common characteristics of embedded systems • Single-functioned • Executes a single program, repeatedly • Tightly-constrained • Low cost, low power, small, fast, etc. • Reactive and real-time • Continually reacts to changes in the system’s environment • Must compute certain results in real-time without delay

  36. Digital camera chip CCD CCD preprocessor Pixel coprocessor D2A A2D lens JPEG codec Microcontroller Multiplier/Accum DMA controller Display ctrl Memory controller ISA bus interface UART LCD ctrl An embedded system example -- a digital camera • Single-functioned -- always a digital camera • Tightly-constrained -- Low cost, low power, small, fast • Reactive and real-time -- only to a small extent

  37. Design challenge – optimizing design metrics • Obvious design goal: • Construct an implementation with desired functionality • Key design challenge: • Simultaneously optimize numerous design metrics • Design metric • A measurable feature of a system’s implementation • Optimizing design metrics is a key challenge

  38. Design challenge – optimizing design metrics • Common metrics • Unit cost: the monetary cost of manufacturing each copy of the system, excluding NRE cost • NRE cost (Non-Recurring Engineering cost): The one-time monetary cost of designing the system • Size: the physical space required by the system • Performance: the execution time or throughput of the system • Power: the amount of power consumed by the system • Flexibility: the ability to change the functionality of the system without incurring heavy NRE cost

  39. Design challenge – optimizing design metrics • Common metrics (continued) • Time-to-prototype: the time needed to build a working version of the system • Time-to-market: the time required to develop a system to the point that it can be released and sold to customers • Maintainability: the ability to modify the system after its initial release • Correctness, safety, many more

  40. Expertise with both software and hardware is needed to optimize design metrics Not just a hardware or software expert, as is common A designer must be comfortable with various technologies in order to choose the best for a given application and constraints Power Digital camera chip CCD Performance Size CCD preprocessor Pixel coprocessor D2A A2D lens NRE cost JPEG codec Microcontroller Multiplier/Accum DMA controller Display ctrl Memory controller ISA bus interface UART LCD ctrl Design metric competition -- improving one may worsen others Hardware Software

  41. Time required to develop a product to the point it can be sold to customers Market window Period during which the product would have highest sales Average time-to-market constraint is about 8 months Delays can be costly Revenues ($) Time (months) Time-to-market: a demanding design metric

  42. Costs: Unit cost: the monetary cost of manufacturing each copy of the system, excluding NRE cost NRE cost (Non-Recurring Engineering cost): The one-time monetary cost of designing the system total cost = NRE cost + unit cost * # of units per-product cost = total cost / # of units = (NRE cost / # of units) + unit cost Amortizing NRE cost over the units results in an additional $200 per unit NRE and unit cost metrics • Example • NRE=$2000, unit=$100 • For 10 units • total cost = $2000 + 10*$100 = $3000 • per-product cost = $2000/10 + $100 = $300

  43. Compare technologies by costs -- best depends on quantity Technology A: NRE=$2,000, unit=$100 Technology B: NRE=$30,000, unit=$30 Technology C: NRE=$100,000, unit=$2 NRE and unit cost metrics • But, must also consider time-to-market

  44. The performance design metric • Widely-used measure of system, widely-abused • Clock frequency, instructions per second – not good measures • Digital camera example – a user cares about how fast it processes images, not clock speed or instructions per second • Latency (response time) • Time between task start and end • e.g., Camera’s A and B process images in 0.25 seconds • Throughput • Tasks per second, e.g. Camera A processes 4 images per second • Throughput can be more than latency seems to imply due to concurrency, e.g. Camera B may process 8 images per second (by capturing a new image while previous image is being stored).

  45. Three key embedded system technologies • Technology • A manner of accomplishing a task, especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge • Three key technologies for embedded systems • Processor technology • IC technology • Design technology

  46. Processor technology • The architecture of the computation engine used to implement a system’s desired functionality • Processor does not have to be programmable • “Processor” not equal to general-purpose processor Controller Datapath Controller Datapath Controller Datapath Control logic index Control logic and State register Control logic and State register Registers Register file total Custom ALU State register + General ALU IR PC IR PC Data memory Data memory Program memory Data memory Program memory Assembly code for: total = 0 for i =1 to … Assembly code for: total = 0 for i =1 to … General-purpose(“software”) Application-specific Single-purpose(“hardware”)

  47. gate oxide IC package IC source channel drain Silicon substrate IC technology • The manner in which a digital (gate-level) implementation is mapped onto an IC • IC: Integrated circuit, or “chip” • IC technologies differ in their customization to a design • IC’s consist of numerous layers (perhaps 10 or more) • IC technologies differ with respect to who builds each layer and when

  48. IC Technology • VLSI (Very-large Scale Integration) --Full Custom • ASIC (Application-specfic IC Technology) --Semi-Custom • PLD (Pogrammable Logic Device) --PLA (Programmable Logic Array) --PAL(Programmable Array Logic) --FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)
