 Embedded Systems Overview
Embedded computing systems
• Computing systems embedded
within electronic devices
• Hard to define. Nearly any
computing system other than a
desktop computer
• Billions of units produced
yearly, versus millions of
desktop units
• Perhaps 50 per household and
per automobile

A Short List of Embedded Systems
 Concepts of co-design
Co-design
• The meeting of system-level objectives by exploiting
the trade-offs between hardware and software in a
system through their concurrent design
Key concepts
• Concurrent: hardware and software developed at the
same time on parallel paths
• Integrated: interaction between hardware and
software developments to produce designs that meet
performance criteria and functional specifications
Essential components and considerations
Essential components :-
• Microprocessor / DSP core
• Sensors
• Converter ( A-D and D-A )
• Actuators
• Memory (on-chip and off-chip )
• Communication path with interfacing environment

Essential considerations :-
• Response time ;- ( Real time system )
• Area, Cost, Power, Portability, Fault-tolerance

 Microprocessor
• Microprocessor (µP) is the “brain” of a computer
that has been implemented on one
semiconductor chip.
• The word comes from the combination micro and
processor.
• Processor means a device that processes
whatever(binary numbers, 0’s and 1’s)
 To process means to manipulate. It describes all
manipulation.
 Micro - > extremely small

 Definition of a Microprocessor.
The microprocessor is a
programmable device that takes in numbers,
performs on them arithmetic or logical
operations according to the program stored in
memory and then produces other numbers as
a result.

 Instruction Queue
• 8086 employs parallel processing
• When EU is busy decoding or executing current
instruction, the buses of 8086 may not be in use.
• At that time, BIU can use buses to fetch upto six
instruction bytes for the following instructions
• BIU stores these pre-fetched bytes in a FIFO register
called Instruction Queue
• When EU is ready for its next instruction, it simply
reads the instruction from the queue in BIU

82
 Pipelining
• EU of 8086 does not have to wait in between
for BIU to fetch next instruction byte from
memory
• So the presence of a queue in 8086 speeds up
the processing
• Fetching the next instruction while the
current instruction executes is called
pipelining

83
 Memory Segmentation
• 8086 has a 20-bit address bus
• So it can address a maximum of 1MB of memory
• 8086 can work with only four 64KB segments at a
time within this 1MB range
• These four memory segments are called
– Code segment
– Stack segment
– Data segment
– Extra segment

• Address of a segment is of 20-bits
• A segment register stores only upper 16-bits
• BIU always inserts zeros for the lowest 4-bits
of the 20-bit starting address.
• E.g. if CS = 348AH, then the code segment will
start at 348A0H
• A 64-KB segment can be located anywhere in
the memory, but will start at an address with
zeros in the lowest 4-bits

90
 Instruction Pointer (IP) Register
• a 16-bit register
• Holds 16-bit offset, of the next instruction

SET of 8086

106
 Instruction set basics
• Instruction:- An instruction is a binary pattern designed
inside a microprocessor to perform a specific function.

• Opcode:- It stands for operational code. It specifies the type

of operation to be performed by CPU. It is the first field in
the machine language instruction format.
• E.g. 08 is the opcode for instruction “MOV X,Y”.

• Operand:- We can also say it as data on which operation

should act. operands may be register values or memory
values. The CPU executes the instructions using information
present in this field. It may be 8-bit data or 16-bit data.
107
 Instruction set basics

• Assembler:- it converts the instruction into sequence of

binary bits, so that this bits can be read by the processor.

• Mnemonics:- these are the symbolic codes for either

instructions or commands to perform a particular
function.
• E.g. MOV, ADD, SUB etc.

187
Directives Expansion

188
• ASSUME Directive - The ASSUME directive is
used to tell the assembler that the name of
the logical segment should be used for a
specified segment.
• DB(define byte) - DB directive is used to
declare a byte type variable or to store a byte
in memory location.
• DW(define word) - The DW directive is used
to define a variable of type word or to reserve
storage location of type word in memory.

189
• DD(define double word) :This directive is used
to declare a variable of type double word or

 Modular
Programming
217
• Generally , industry-programming projects consist
of thousands of lines of instructions or operation
code.
• The size of the modules are reduced to a humanly
comprehensible and manageable level.
• Program is composed from several smaller
modules. Modules could be developed by
separate teams concurrently.OBJ modules
(Object modules).
• The .OBJ modules so produced are combined
using a LINK program.
• Modular programming techniques simplify the
software development process

218
CHARACTERISTICS of module:
1. Each module is independent of other modules.
2. Each module has one input and one output.
3. A module is small in size.
4. Programming a single function per module is a goal
Advantages of Modular Programming:
• It is easy to write, test and debug a module.
• Code can be reused.
• The programmer can divide tasks.
• Re-usable Modules can be re-used within a program
DRAWBACKS:
Modular programming requires extra time and memory
219
MODULAR PROGRAMMING:
1.LINKING & RELOCATION
2.STACKS
3.Procedures
4.Interrupts & Interrupt Routines
5.Macros

220
 LINKING &
RELOCATION
221
 LINKER
• A linker is a program used to join together several
object files into one large object file.
• The linker produces a link file which contains the
binary codes for all the combined modules.

The linker program is invoked using the following

options.
C> LINK
or
C>LINK MS.OBJ

222
• The loader is a part of the operating system
and places codes into the memory after
reading the ‘.exe’ file
• A program called locator reallocates the
linked file and creates a file for permanent
location of codes in a standard format.

223
Creation and execution of a program

224
Loader
->Loader is a utility program which takes object code as
input prepares it for execution and loads the
executable code into the memory .
->Loader is actually responsible for initializing the
process of execution.
Functions of loaders:
1.It allocates the space for program in the memory(Allocation)
2.It resolves the code between the object modules(Linking)
3. some address dependent locations in the program, address constants
must be adjusted according to allocated space(Relocation)
4. It also places all the machine instructions and data of corresponding
programs and subroutines into the memory .(Loading)

225
Relocating loader (BSS Loader)
• When a single subroutine is changed then all
the subroutine needs to be reassembled.
• The binary symbolic subroutine (BSS) loader
used in IBM 7094 machine is relocating loader.
• In BSS loader there are many procedure
segments
• The assembler reads one sourced program
and assembles each procedure segment
independently
226
• The output of the relocating loader is the object program
• The assembler takes the source program as input; this source
program may call some external routines.
SEGMENT COMBINATION:
ASM-86 assembler regulating the way segments with the
same name are concatenated & sometimes they are overlaid.
Form of segment directive:
Segment name SEGEMENT Combine-type
Possible combine-type are:
• PUBLIC
• COMMON
• STACK
• AT
• MEMORY

227
Procedures
228
• Procedure is a part of code that can be called from
your program in order to make some specific task.
Procedures make program more structural and
easier to understand.
• syntax for procedure declaration:
name PROC
…………. ; here goes the code
…………. ; of the procedure ...
RET
name ENDP
here PROC is the procedure name.(used in top & bottom)
RET - used to return from OS. CALL-call a procedure
PROC & ENDP – complier directives
CALL & RET - instructions 229
 EXAMPLE 1 (call a procedure)
ORG 100h
CALL m1
MOV AX, 2
RET ; return to operating system.

m1 PROC
MOV BX, 5
RET ; return to caller.
m1 ENDP
END
• The above example calls procedure m1, does MOV BX, 5 &
returns to the next instruction after CALL: MOV AX, 2.

230
 Example 2 : several ways to pass
parameters to procedure
ORG 100h
MOV AL, 1
MOV BL, 2
CALL m2
CALL m2
CALL m2
CALL m2
RET ; return to operating system.

m2 PROC
MUL BL ; AX = AL * BL.
RET ; return to caller.
m2 ENDP
value of AL register is update every time the
END procedure is called.
final result in AX register is 16 (or 10h) 231
232
• Stack is an area of memory for keeping
temporary data.
• STACK is used by CALL & RET instructions.
PUSH -stores 16 bit value in the stack.
POP -gets 16 bit value from the stack.
• PUSH and POP instruction are especially useful
because we don't have too much registers to operate
1. Store original value of the register in stack (using
PUSH).
2. Use the register for any purpose.
3. Restore the original value of the register from stack
(using POP).

233
Example-1 (store value in STACK using
PUSH & POP)
ORG 100h
MOV AX, 1234h
PUSH AX ; store value of AX in stack.
MOV AX, 5678h ; modify the AX value.
POP AX ; restore the original value of AX.
RET
END

234
 Example 2: use of the stack is for
exchanging the values
ORG 100h
MOV AX, 1212h ; store 1212h in AX.
MOV BX, 3434h ; store 3434h in BX
PUSH AX ; store value of AX in stack.
PUSH BX ; store value of BX in stack.
POP AX ; set AX to original value of BX.
POP BX ; set BX to original value of AX.
RET
END
push 1212h and then 3434h, on pop we will
first get 3434h and only after it 1212h 235
MACROS
236
• Macros are just like procedures, but not really.
• Macros exist only until your code is compiled
• After compilation all macros are replaced with
real instructions
• several macros to make coding easier(Reduce
large & complex programs)
Example (Macro definition)
name MACRO [parameters,...]
<instructions>
ENDM

237
 Example1 : Macro Definitions
SAVE MACRO definition of MACRO name SAVE

PUSH AX
PUSH BX
PUSH CX
ENDM

RETREIVE MACRO Another definition of MACRO name RETREIVE

POP CX
POP BX
POP AX

 INTERRUPTS
&
INTERRUPT SERVICE
ROUTINE(ISR)
241
 INTERRUPT & ISR ?
• ‘Interrupts’ is to break the sequence of
operation.
• While the CPU is executing a program, on
‘interrupt’ breaks the normal sequence of
execution of instructions, diverts its execution
to some other program called Interrupt
Service Routine (ISR)

242
243
244
245
• Maskable Interrupt: An Interrupt that can be
disabled or ignored by the instructions of CPU
are called as Maskable Interrupt.
• Non- Maskable Interrupt: An interrupt that
cannot be disabled or ignored by the instructions
of CPU are called as Non- Maskable Interrupt.
• Software interrupts are machine instructions
that amount to a call to the designated interrupt
subroutine, usually identified by interrupt
number. Ex: INT0 - INT255
