🔵 Develop Embedded Systems
An embedded system is a small, specialized computer that typically contains a microcontroller (i.e. microcontroller-unit [MCU] based) and operates inside a device that is not primarily a computer. Key reasons to use an embedded system are small size, low cost, and high efficiency.
Creating a precisely tailored system enables a developer to carry out design work using software with a minimal memory footprint and, therefore, the smallest possible amount of required memory. This can sometimes be decisive when determining the need for external RAM. Eliminating external RAM reduces costs, boot times, and complexity.
A purpose-built embedded system not only keeps the cost of production as low as possible; it also minimizes the number of things that can potentially go wrong during production setup. In addition, the end product’s power consumption and size are also reduced. The cost of the design phase for embedded software development can be recouped many times over during setup, production, packing, shipping, etc., and this typically makes for a better, more efficient and reliable end product.
Use cases
SEGGER technology goes beyond coding. It provides a complete set of embedded system development tools that can be used to create experiences that shape the future of connected devices across multiple industries — from everyday gadgets to complex industrial systems. Flexibility and reliability ensure that these systems perform seamlessly, regardless of their purpose.
MCU-based devices for
minimizing cost per unit
With SEGGER's highly efficient emPower OS software, users can streamline embedded software development and design an application that uses a single-chip MCU with no external RAM requirement minimizing cost per unit.
Examples range from things as large as
robots, industrial control units, and vacuum cleaners to things as small as tracking devices, razors, and electric toothbrushes. A practical example from SEGGER is its market-leading J-Link and J-Trace family of debug and trace probes. By minimizing power consumption, SEGGER eliminates the need for a fan in these devices. Aside from a decrease
in unit size and cost, this also means that the efficiently engineered SEGGER device uses less power than the fan alone would have used.
Efficient battery-powered
devices
An embedded system engineered to perform only highly specialized tasks can eliminate unnecessary functionality, minimizing overhead and power consumption. This can be critically important in applications involving
battery power. Examples of power-sensitive projects range from an implanted medical device to an
international space station. A battery-powered device that collects and
transmits data is one that benefits from an embedded system's minimized power usage. A practical example from SEGGER is the Flasher Portable PLUS from its market-leading Flasher series of production tools. Battery-driven or powered via USB, this tool is specifically optimized for carrying out updates in the field.
Systems engineered for
maximum safety
Replacing a large, open-source system (such as Linux) with a small embedded system powered by a single-chip microcontroller and running closed-source software minimizes complexity and increases safety. It also tends
to produce better reaction times; run more efficiently; and, of course, cost less. Examples of embedded software products with a specific focus on safety are the SEGGER Security and cryptography libraries, which are built from the ground up for embedded systems. The resulting libraries are
extremely safe and fast, and they use minimal memory resources.
