Arm Limited - What Is Embedded System Design (ESD)? – Arm® Today, there are billions of embedded system devices used across many industries including medical and industrial equipment, transportation systems, and military equipment. Many consumer devices from digital watches to kitchen appliances and automobiles also feature them. Embedded systems are small, fast, powerful, and designed for very specific use cases. While general purpose systems can perform multiple functions, they can be too costly for many applications, and may also fail to measure up to embedded systems’ reliability, low power consumption, minimal size, and other functional and performance features.
Designers that require dedicated function chips for their projects often select Arm’s Cortex-M architecture, while leveraging Arm’s Flexible Access to speed the design process, and Arm’s SystemReady compliance certification program to ensure hardware and firmware standards are met. Arm offers online courses focused on ESD: Rapid Embedded Systems Design and Programming.
