The increasing demand on the use of multimedia video contents drives more mobile embedded systems to incorporate H.264/AVC decoding capability. An H.264/AVC decoder often requires high computation bandwidth during its decoding phase. Depending upon processor computation capability and multimedia contents complexity, the decoder can be implemented either in hardware or software. However, without a thorough analysis on the Performance and resource requirements, it is difficult to choose a cost-effective methodology of implementing this codec. This paper presents both hardware and software implementation of H.264/AVC decoding subsystem in mobile embedded systems, and quantitatively analyses the performance and resource requirements. It also shows the methodology to identify performance bottleneck in Linux-based mobile embedded systems, which is in turn used to select feasible and efficient implementation methodology.

Today's most equipments that contain embedded system only support simple menus and background graphics. However, as the embedded system is applied for much more various fields and the user's needs for graphical interface become higher, the support for multimedia and moving pictures became an important criterion to evaluate the performance of a equipment. Because the present embedded system uses software to construct display environment, it is difficult to meet the bandwidth for multimedia contents and moving pictures. Using software for graphic also lowers the performance of the main function by overloading the processor. In this paper, we present an OLED/TFT-LCD controller suitable for embedded systems. The architecture we propose is described in HDL and the performance is evaluated in comparison with the existing embedded systems.

In this paper. an image compression of embedded zerotree structure using multiwavelet filter banks is proposed. Multiwavelet is used DGHM(Donovan, Geronimo, Hardin, and Massopust) scaling functions and wavelet functions of a new method with two channel fillet banks. The important properties of the DGHM multiwavelet are orthogonality and approximation order. The DCHM muitiwavelet using the this paper preserves the approximation order=2 for better energy compaction and perfect reconstruction. Image compression using the preposed DGHM multiwavelet is better PSNR for compression ratio than single Daubechies wavelet(D4), Biorthogoanl wavelet, and GHM(Geronimo, Hardin, and Massopust) multi wavelet.

As a mobile computing environment is rapidly changing, increasing user demand for multimedia-over-wireless capabilities on embedded processors places constraints on performance, power, and sire. In this regard, this paper proposes color media instructions (CMI) for single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) parallel processors to meet the computational requirements and cost goals. While existing multimedia extensions store and process 48-bit pixels in a 32-bit register, CMI, which considers that color components are perceptually less significant, supports parallel operations on two-packed compressed 16-bit YCbCr (6 bit Y and 5 bits Cb, Cr) data in a 32-bit datapath processor. This provides greater concurrency and efficiency for YCbCr data processing. Moreover, the ability to reduce data format size reduces system cost. The reduction in data bandwidth also simplifies system design. Experimental results on a representative SIMD parallel processor architecture show that CMI achieves an average speedup of 6.3x over the baseline SIMD parallel processor performance. This is in contrast to MMX (a representative Intel's multimedia extensions), which achieves an average speedup of only 3.7x over the same baseline SIMD architecture. CMI also outperforms MMX in both area efficiency (a 52% increase versus a 13% increase) and energy efficiency (a 50% increase versus an 11% increase). CMI improves the performance and efficiency with a mere 3% increase in the system area and a 5% increase in the system power, while MMX requires a 14% increase in the system area and a 16% increase in the system power.

Informations of multimedia centering in the images, are combined acoustic and letter, etc. Although the network advances and the capacity of the storage media extends, these huge informations will not be able to accommodate. From meaning which is like this, International standards for the compression and a multiplexing of image, acoustic and voice H261 where admits standard, JPEG, JBIG, MPEG-l, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and H263, G series etc, are core techniques of multimedia. At initial step of the base technique which creates the base of like this multimedia service time, we developed the real-time MPEG-4 transmission systems to provides real-time MPEG-4 multimedia services. This system means becomes the base technique which hereafter is developed and is applied various system. This system Will be able to apply from a videoconference, a building protection system and a VOD video system to use the Internet. And, They, the image sensing, embedded linux, and MPEG4 software, will become sourceful technique to develop the different system.

Currently interests of embedded software in various areas such as automotive field, ship field, robot field is increasing according to expand market of embedded systems. Various researches such as embedded operating systems, embedded software modeling technique, embedded software testing, and so on are going in progress. However systematic engineering approach in embedded system development is poor because embedded areas focus on hardware parts until now. Furthermore, framework-based de sign technique considering reusability is not reflected in embedded system development. Those development results in many of dead codes scattered in system, and results in poor reusability of system. This paper suggests a framework of embedded system for reusability and a static meta-model for reuse framework. Proposed meta-model expresses not only the structure of reuse framework, but also allows a designer to extend and design easily models of embedded system based on reuse framework according to various embedded system types.

Recently, as the demand of mobile multimedia devices increases and T-DMB is started in Korea, the need of research for integration of mobile devices such as cellular phone, navigation, and portable multimedia player becomes higher. In order to integrate mobile devices, it is necessary to support microprocessor with fast speed and various devices with multimedia service. In this paper, we construct Windows CE 5.0 platform whose BSP supports the embedded system board with ARM11 core and various devices and applications. We also implement the DMB device driver which supports busy waiting and interrupt driven I/O techniques, compare their performance, and then suggest the method to efficiently use the resources of embedded system.

In this paper, we propose a mechanism for both scheduling the hybrid-task set which consists of periodic and aperiodic tasks and recovering tasks with transient faults on the level of the operating system. Existing embedded operating systems would not provide the scheduling of both periodic and aperiodic tasks. Also because of not supporting the recovery of task failures, they can not prevent system failure from transient task faults. Proposed method, on the level of operating system, is able to not only meet the deadlines of all periodic tasks but also complete the execution of aperiodic tasks. In addition, it is able to prevent the system failure from transient task faults by recovering the task faults.

A virtual machine is a conceptual computer with a logical system configuration, made of software unlike physical systems made of hardware. Virtual machine technology for embedded systems is a requisite software technology for download solutions such as mobile devices, digital TVs, etc. At present, a research of virtual machines for embedded systems named EVM(Embedded Virtual Machine) is in progress. As a part of the research, we define the EFF(Executable File Format) as a file format for embedded systems. We also prove completeness of EFF by structurally mapping class file widely used to EFF.
