A warm welcome to the “Legacy Embedded Systems & Paradigm Shift in Embedded Systems” course by Uplatz.
Uplatz offers this extensive course on Legacy Embedded Systems & Paradigm Shift in Embedded Systems.
Legacy Embedded Systems can be defined as the hardware and software/firmware systems perfog useful tasks traditionally but requiring reeeering and upgrades due to obvious reasons. The most important drivers of this change are parts obsolescence as well as the latest system needs such as greater functionality, integration with other contemporary systems or sub-systems, increased processing and interface scalability, better physical characteristics (such as size, weight, power, volume), and decreased maintenance and life-cycle support costs. Another critical reason is the availability of modern algorithms, architectures, and technologies that meet or exceed the system’s specifications, often at a lower cost.
The existing reeeering tends to focus on simple hardware upgrades, often at the single-chip level. This one-component-at-a- approach does not extend to board or subsystem-level reeeering and an accompanying software upgrade. For example, for some legacy systems, a single, form-efficient IC might replace many old chips all together in one go resulting into substantial improvements in performance and/or reduction of costs, and thus a board-level approach would be of much value. Many-a-s, we lack design specifications for the legacy system, and the original designers are no longer available to provide information. In such cases, we need methods for extracting the legacy system’s design intent.
Embedded systems design, development, and integration are evolving as businesses are under pressure to innovate faster than ever before. Legacy systems that were once purpose-built must be modernized or give way to new fluid and connected systems. Of course, the need for this transition as well as the actual implementation doesn’t happen in a day.
