Chapter 5: Embedded Systems for IoT
Abstract Embedded systems are a key component of the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling devices to communicate, process data, and interact with the cloud. IoT embedded systems are designed to be integrated into devices, machines, or hardware, and they combine hardware and software components to perform specific tasks: Connectivity IoT embedded systems connect to the internet or other networks to allow devices to communicate with each other and systems. Sensing and actuation IoT embedded systems often include sensors to detect changes in the environment and actuators to perform actions based on that data. Data processing IoT embedded systems can process data in real-time to make decisions and take actions. Energy efficiency IoT embedded systems are designed to consume minimal power while still functioning. Examples of IoT embedded systems include: Vending machines: Can send messages to employees when items need to be refilled. Ticket scanners: Can read ticket info...
