Embedded System Training
Embedded systems refer to devices, instruments or large engineering structures/systems that are built to handle one or a few pre-established tasks. The computer controlling the whole thing is built into or ‘embedded’ within the device. In truth, the line between ‘embedded’ systems and general purpose systems (which may or may not contain an embedded system) is becoming blurred as technology progresses.Characteristics of Embedded Systems
The key characteristic of an embedded system is that it is supposed to handle a few simple tasks, although the steps involved in handling or accomplishing that task may be as complex as any computer program.
Originally, an embedded system had no user interface – information and programs were already incorporated into the system (e.g., the guidance system for an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile or ICBM) and there was no need for human interaction or intervention except to install the device and test it.
Our expertise covers many microcontroller architectures and their development tools. We focus on time-to-market, quality improvement and embedded networking applications using Controller Area Network (CAN bus), CANopen and Embedded Internetworking.
We develop and manage a full range of PC-based tools and embedded software stacks for CAN and CANopen networks. Our software is innovative and affordable, allowing more engineers to develop projects using the CAN bus.
The engineers at INFOWIZ are experienced, knowledgeable, accessible and competent. We provide a wide range of consulting services to fit your needs. Some example technologies we work with are:
8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers, including 8051, XC16x, ColdFire, ARM and ARM Cortex.
Assembler, C, C++, C# and Python.
A wide range of embedded compilers, such as Keil, GNU and CodeWarrior.
Embedded real-time operating systems, Windows CE, Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 and Linux.
Embedded TCP/IP stacks.
Controller Area Network (CAN) and higher layer protocols such as CANopen.
The PIC microcontroller was developed by General Instruments in 1975. PIC was developed when Microelectronics Division of General Instruments was testing its 16-bit CPU CP1600. Although the CP1600 was a good CPU but it had low I/O performance. The PIC controller was used to offload the I/O the tasks from CPU to improve the overall performance of the system.In 1985, General Instruments converted their Microelectronics Division to Microchip Technology. PIC stands for Peripheral Interface Controller. The General Instruments used the acronyms Programmable Interface Controller and Programmable Intelligent Computer for the initial PICs (PIC1640 and PIC1650).In 1993, Microchip Technology launched the 8-bit PIC16C84 with EEPROM which could be programmed using serial programming method. The improved version of PIC16C84 with flash memory (PIC18F84 and PIC18F84A) hit the market in 1998.
