My first introductory post on steemit; An insight into the world of embedded system

Hello steemians, it's so good to be on this interesting and educative platform.

My name is Akinyele Adeyemi, i am a developer, a programmer, a solar system consultant and a graduate member of Nigeria society of Engineer (GMNSE), interested in been an hobbyist in system design.

LET DISCUSS ON EMBEDDED SYSTEM

Have you ever wondered what life would be without smart tech, I can't picture myself living without a smart phone, one device that hold the key to my channel to the world. I guess every blogger has one, but have you ever wondered how it's all came into existence, can you picture how difficult it was for people living without a smart tech, ages ago when communication (a major reform due to the invention of smart devices) was done verbally, without smart device?

Well!!! I sure won't want to experience that if you are thinking what am thinking your guess is as good as mine. What am I trying to convey to you is the beautiful world of embedded system. We all could laugh communicate and dance through a unique invention invented by scientist, engineers and as well entreprenur. People with the gut to invest in their thinking through a medium lay down from ages with capital thinking of changing the life of the people around them.

In a short concise note I would like you to picture what an embedded system is:

Though embedded system consist of loads of calculation, programming, timing, precision, and an inspiration thought well in a nutshell you think its a load of boring experience, but the challenging thing about embedded sytem is the fun attached to it. Its makes you fall in love with programming just imagine what Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak where thinking about, Mark zurckarberg said he believe in years to come, Programming would be thought in classes like regular courses. Embedded developer are fun people.

You think algorithm is boring try investing your time into it, the wonderful world of developing, designing and constructing. In a short definition that what embedded system means. Ability to think, develop the idea, design it and have the gut to construct it. An embedded system is a set of organised developed project which utilized the use of a package hardware spiced by a software suite or better still it's could be viewed as a system which consist of processed component which are manufacture for electronics process.

We all live in a world or generation where information is almost free, you could pick up your phone and start developing it so so easy, and I tell you there is no limitation to embedded system when it's has to do with incorporating it into an activities. You want to live on the edge, you want your self computerised its could be done, just think it and develop it!!!

What do you need to start developing? ‎I believe their is something called interest, interest with out passion, is like a lust without drive ha ha? Programming is the key to embedded system your ability to play around with pieces of logics well I call it that is what propell you into the world of embedded system. An embedded system has no chemical composition, it is just a project refined from raw material that has passed through processes. The raw material are solid state electronic component and other mechanical devices, some are fixed in properties and others are subjected to changes making them into what you want them to be in performance, that the essence of programming to me, robot are existing as a result of embedded system which consist of different component working together to achieve a set goal. The electronic component to be programmed are referred to as Microcontroller which are programme through an avenue called development environment (IDE).

INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT (IDE)

An IDE is a software suite, which consist of a platform for developing encrypted information in form of writing unprocessed machine code in an adapted language.

The IDE is like a human being with part to function, without this part its could functionless, in a simple format it has a code editor, which is a workspace, where by written code are constructed and written according to their order of precedence, its also has a translator, a sub engine which convert from one language to another, for example a compiler can convert both language (c logic programming) to machine language which are basically binary. There are other translators such as assemblers converting from an assembly language to machine language.
And lastly the debugger, are used to diagnose problems in your code script or functions, debug your code in the code Editor. All this part could be easily access by a developer through an interface called the single graphical user interface ( GUI) like the brian.
Examples of Integrated development envirnoment include;

How to set up an embedded system project

An understanding of programming language is what determine or create a solid foundation into the world of embedded system. There is a need for an adapted integrated development environment, based on your skills there are different types of IDE which as to do with your level or understanding of various Programming language basically rooted in C. Use the code editor and write your source code compile and run it. Every source code must follow a flowchart (flow chart makes a programmer works easier its show how the program would follow). The flowchart is constructed based on the hardware system develop by the designer. _20180730_045431.JPG

After a completed and compiled source code, the next step is to upload or download its through a programmer or boot loader to the constructed hardware.

In a final note, embedded system holds the future for both engineering and the global science world at large, though some people consider embedded system as a standalone in application but I say its could be incorporated into even larger system in application. Embedded system has no limitation!

Thank you and glad to be here.

Welcome to Steemit and have fun!

Hello yeminicon! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
