Embedded Processors: Characteristics and Trends
Stephan Wong, Stamatis Vassiliadis, Sorin Cotofan, Sorin Cotöfană · 2004
this report, we consider computational aspects of embedded systems and analyze briefly embedded processor characteristics, design styles, and project some possible design trends. We begin the presentation with a general discussion regarding embedded systems and provide a definition for such systems. Our proposed definition is intended to clarify and clearly distinguish embedded systems from application-specific systems. Consequently, we discuss various components of embedded systems and concentrate on issues related to design and development of embedded processors. We position embedded processor characteristics and consider design and implementation issues. Finally, we briefly discuss some future research directions
