Embedded systems are usually composed of two parts: software and hardware. Embedded software refers to the program code running in the embedded system, which is used to control and manage the functions and behaviors of hardware devices. Embedded hardware refers to the physical components in the embedded system, including processors, memory, sensors, actuators, etc. As a senior electronic engineer, you may be involved in both software and hardware work during the design and development of embedded systems. Specifically: Embedded software development: includes writing control programs, drivers, operating systems, etc. for embedded systems, using programming languages such as C and C++. Embedded software development requires a deep understanding of the architecture, processor characteristics, and real-time requirements of embedded systems. Embedded hardware design: This includes selecting and designing hardware components such as processors, memory, sensors, actuators, and circuit design and prototyping. Embedded hardware design requires a deep understanding of the characteristics of electronic devices, interface standards, signal transmission, etc.
In the actual embedded system development process, software and hardware work closely together to achieve the functions and performance requirements of the embedded system. Therefore, as a senior electronic engineer, you may need to have the ability of both software development and hardware design, or work closely with software engineers and hardware engineers in the team to complete the design and development of embedded systems.
