Abstract(s)
O desenvolvimento das tecnologias na indústria de semicondutores permite actualmente um conceito que cada vez mais se integra no quotidiano das pessoas. O aparecimento de sistemas VLSI e MEMS vem comprovar a necessidade de sistemas embutidos dedicados a uma função especial, em contraste ao computador pessoal de propósito geral, com um baixo custo de produção. No mundo actual, a preparação de um profissional em engenharia passa por diversos estágios de aprendizagem. É fundamental obter um balanço entre os conhecimentos teóricos adquiridos ao longo da formação, bem como uma sólida experiência prática, permitindo uma visão alargada dos desafios reais que qualquer trabalho de engenharia enfrenta. Neste trabalho, desenvolveu-se uma plataforma para o estudo e desenvolvimento de sistemas embutidos, com fins didácticos, para vários níveis de aprendizagem. A plataforma permite implementação de ferramentas conceptuais de criação e desenvolvimento de sistemas embutidos, com uma vasta gama de tecnologias co-existentes para uma aprendizagem e aplicação sólida de conceitos fundamentais para uma qualificação consistente.
The technological advances in VLSI, MEMS, and wireless communications enable today a concept that enables the design of systems with one or more dedicated functions. Over the past decade, advances brought by the semiconductor industry enabled computers smaller than a pin-head, powerful enough to carry all the processing required and affordable enough to be deployed in large quantities or even to be not reused. This tendency is expected to continue over the next decade, with computers being even smaller and cheaper year-by-year. The integration of these computers in a complex system results in the concept of Embedded Systems. In life, learning is a permanent process, especially in engineering, where the balance between theoretical concepts and the practical experience allows a broader view of the real challenges faced in any engineering design, providing the know-how to overcome even the most challenging problems. In this work, several frameworks were developed for the research and development of embedded systems, with a wide range of merged technologies, enabling a solid application of the fundamental concepts gathered during the whole learning process.
