Lay hands on Cutting EDGE technologies

Embedded Systems Training : Developments within the semiconductor industry constitute one of the most interesting areas of rapid innovation in the high-tech industry.

DEVICES TODAY, whether they be automobile brakes or washing machines or audio systems or mobile phones, are becoming increasingly “intelligent’’ and autonomous. As a simple example, your automatic clothes washer will set and control the entire wash cycle and attendant parameters (water temperature, detergent feed, spin rate and timings) and even talk to you, based on the nature of the clothes (cotton or silk or polyester and the like) indicated by you through a setting switch.

The intelligence of these devices resides in what are called embedded systems — combinations of hardware and software mounted on compact electronic circuit boards integrated into the devices.

The availability of smaller, more powerful hardware such as system-on-chip and DSPs (digital signal processors), low cost, denser memory as well as the trend towards enhanced functionality and networking capability in devices is increasing the complexity and size of embedded software. The scope of embedded has now gone far beyond the traditional real time operating systems.
