IoT connects devices to networks for data exchange and remote control, while embedded systems are standalone computing systems within devices, often forming the core of IoT devices.
Protocols include MQTT for lightweight messaging, CoAP for constrained devices, and HTTP for web-based communication.
Embedded systems are designed for specific tasks with limited resources, unlike general-purpose computers that handle multiple applications simultaneously.
Firmware is low-level software programmed onto embedded devices, directly controlling hardware components and enabling device functionality.
VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is used for modeling and simulating digital systems, primarily for FPGA and ASIC design.
A Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) ensures predictable task scheduling and timing, essential for time-critical embedded applications.
Edge computing processes data closer to devices, reducing latency and bandwidth use in IoT solutions.
Legacy embedded systems are older platforms still in use in industries, often requiring maintenance or integration with modern IoT technologies.
IoT devices are secured through encryption, authentication protocols, firmware updates, and network security measures.
Debuggers like JTAG, SWD, and simulators are used alongside IDEs such as Keil, MPLAB, or Arduino IDE for troubleshooting embedded systems.
