Communication Protocols in an Embedded Platform
A feature-rich embedded platform needs to support many communication protocols in order to work with the many different devices that exists today. On top of the supported protocols a communication stack should be present. A stack abstracts the implementation and many protocol-specific details, and enable packaging of multiple signals into the frames of the protocols.
Protocols used by the automotive industry
The following communication protocols have been embraced by the automotive industry. For this reason these need to be supported on an embedded platform used in the …
Scheduling strategies in an embedded RTOS environment
Most of today’s embedded real-time operating systems (RTOS) use the same scheduling method i.e. a priority based task switching algorithm. This means that the task with the highest priority that is ready to run is the one getting the CPU time. A more interesting aspect of scheduling is the strategies that are used to put the tasks into ready state. Two dominating techniques are used by RTOS of today’s embedded systems: time-triggered and event-triggered. Actually, the time-triggered strategy is a special case of the event-triggered …
