Recently embedded system developed a lot. Physically, embedded systems range from portable devices such as digital watches and MP3 players, to large stationary installations like traffic lights, factory controllers, or the systems controlling nuclear power plants. This paper focuses on implementation of portable device which is applicable to the child-kidnap or missing child prevention system in residential area or public area. To be specific, this device is to transmit video data which comes from the camera in the device into the host PC via WLAN. Embedded hardware platform consists of s3c2440 with ARM9 core, WindowsCE OS and other sensors. OS enables the platform to do multitasking jobs which are handling GPS data, taking video, capturing audio via microphone in the device and transfer all kind of realtime data to the host PC.

Recently, embedded systems have been introduced in various fields such as smart factories, industrial drones, and medical robots. Since sensor data collection and IoT functions for machine learning and big data processing are essential in embedded systems, it is essential to port the operating system that is suitable for the function requirements. However, in embedded systems, it is necessary to separate the hard real-time system, which must process within a fixed time according to service characteristics, and the flexible real-time system, which is more flexible in processing time. It is difficult to port the operating system to a low-performance embedded device such as 8BIT MCU to perform simultaneous real-time. When porting a real-time OS (RTOS) to a low-specification MCU and performing a number of tasks, the performance of the real-time and general processing greatly deteriorates, causing a problem of re-designing the hardware and software if a hard real-time system is required for an operating system ported to a low-performance MCU such as an 8BIT MCU. Research on the technology that can process real-time processing system requirements on RTOS (ported in low-performance MCU) is needed.

This paper describes an embedded system to put a SoC actuator IP in motion and linux drivers. The If that a embedded linux among embedded OS is ported is implemented as linux driver. The actuator IP is controlled by application programming. To make users use this easily, a QT is ported on the system. Application program can operate the actuator IP device driver on TFT LCD.

Real-time operating systems must have satisfying various conditions such as effective scheduling policies, minimized interrupt delay, resolved priority inversion problems, and its applications to be completed within desired deadline. The real-time operating systems, therefore, should be designed and developed to be optimal for these requirements. MicroC/OS-II, a kind of Real-time operating systems, uses the basic priority inheritance with a mutex to solve priority inversion problems. For the implementation of mutex, the kernel in an operating system should provide supports for numerous tasks with same priority. However, MicroC/OS-II does not provide this support for the numerous tasks of same priority. To solve this problem, MicroC/OS-II cannot but using priority reservation, which leads to the waste of unnecessary resources. In this study, we have dealt with new design a protocol, so called TPSP(Temporary Priority Swap Protocol), by an effective solution for above-mentioned problem, eventually enabling embedded systems with constrained resources environments to run applications.

This paper presents the deadline driven CPU-Power management scheme for the Real-Time Embedded OS: named TMO-eCos. It used the scheduling scenarios generated by a task serialization technique for hard real- time TMO system. The serializer does a off-line analysis at design time with period, deadline and WCET of periodic tasks. Finally, TMO-eCos kernel controls the CPU speed to save the power consumption under the condition that periodic tasks do not violate deadlines. As a result, the system shows a reasonable amount of power saving. This paper presents all of these processes and test results.

낮은 처리속도와 기억용량을 가진 임베디드 센서 네트워크의 소프트웨어를 개발할 때 Tiny OS는 컴포넌트방식의 nesC 언어를 이용하여 효율적인 설계를 돕는다. 컴포넌트 방식을 이용하기 때문에 여러가지 소프트웨어의 개발에 자주 사용되는 자산을 분리하여 관리한다면 개발시간과 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 Tiny OS 기반에서 임베디드 센서 네트워크 소프트웨어 개발 시 프로덕트라인 방법을 적용하여 공통적인 자산과 가변적인 자산을 구별하고 재사용성을 높이며 개발 효율을 증대하는 방안을 제시한다. 이러한 연구는 이종의 임베디드 소프트웨어 개발에도 적용되어 늘어나는 임베디드 소프트웨어의 양적, 질적 수요를 충족시켜주는데 도움이 될 것이다.

With the development and general use of a variety of Android/iOS-based smart phones and smart pads, the existing e-learning contents need to be changed in such a way that they can be carried out on different smart device platforms. This paper shows what changes are needed for that aim, and, in particular, for the compatibility of different platforms by designing and implementing Android/iOS-based smart learning contents in the form of a hybrid app. This paper will hopefully help you consider what elements are required to develop smart-learning contents on a variety of platforms for mobile devices.

In this paper, the implementation of creative engineering robot with MCU platform is described. This robot, as a platform of robot system to be used as creative engineering education, has to satisfy restrictions in many aspects in order to study algorithm and apply for the processor based function and pattern recognition application. Considering many restrictions of the mobile platform for creative robot system, we made this robot autonomous by using efficiently the LINUX embedded system. And we choose Marvell Monahan processor(PXA320) as MCU flatform, and used CentOS5.2 as an embedded OS that has the function of robustness and optimality. For flexibility and modularity, the platform has expansion ports. The results of experiment are described to show the pattern matching of creative engineering mobile robot with LINUX programming environments.

Wearable devices have become widespread. Fitness band is one of common wearable devices, providing useful functions. It helps users to monitor and collect their status such as heart rate and travel distance. Wearable devices, including fitness bands, are designed in small size and it ends up having small battery capacity. In that regard, it is necessary to expand the lifetime of wearable devices. Conventional power management scheme of wearable devices is based on DVFS Ondemand Governor and peripheral control by timeout event, such as turning off the LCD. In this paper, we propose a hybrid governor applying hardware supporting low power mode such as sleep mode to exploit the periodicity of fitness band task. In addition, we show hybrid governor outperforms in power consumption than conventional power management scheme of wearable devices based on Ondemand Governor through experiments.

Real-time support of embedded OS is not optional, but essential in contemporary embedded systems. In order to achieve these system#s real-time property, it is crucial that schedulability analysis for tasks having its property have been accomplished before system execution. Acquiring Worst-Case Execution Time(WCET) of task is a core part of schedulability analysis. Because traditional WCET tools analyze only its estimation of application task(i.e. program), it is not considered that application tasks are affected by scheduling primitives(e.g. scheduler, interrupt service routine, etc.) of OS when it schedules them. In this paper, we design and implement WCET analysis tool which deliberates on scheduling primitives of system using embedded Linux widely used in embedded OSes. This tool can estimate either WCET of normal application programs or corresponding primitives which have an influence on schduling property in embedded Linux kernel. Therefore, precision of estimation about schedulability analysis is improved. We develop this tool as Eclipse#s plug-in to work properly in any platform and support convenient interface or functionality for user.
