Abstract
The embedded system can be defined as a special purpose system with a built-in computer, and has a wide variety of applications such as home appliances, office equipment, and weapon systems. A well-defined taxonomy in a specific field is advantageous for learning and education, however, the classification scheme for embedded systems is difficult to find. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy for embedded systems. First, the generalized structure of the embedded system was presented. And, it is divided into two parts: "firmware based" and "embedded OS based". In addition, according to the characteristics of embedded system applications, it is divided into two categories: "non-dependable" application and "dependable" application, which makes 4 planes. We describe the features of each quadrant and show that the classification is well suited by showing examples. Our taxonomy can be used to set teaching and learning methods of embedded systems.
Keywords
