Embedded Solution:

Organizations today offer products that are highly innovative and they are technologically at par with all the developments that happen all around. Companies use technology that are converging various media applications, which is done in order to provide next generation systems. The Embedded Solutions provided by CEBS enables us to deliver technological excellence by making products that have embedded intelligence in them. By definition embedded solutions therefore suggest a combination of hardware and software functionalities that are either programmable or are fixed in their operations to provide a specific function. In some cases there are some devices that have programs written on the memory of the computers, instead of being loaded into RAM.

There are abundant examples of embedded systems that are eminent all around us. In the telecommunication sector there are telephone switches, networking devices and computers and routers. In the consumer electronic fields this system becomes eminent in the PDAs, Digital cameras, DVD players, and GPS receivers. Home appliances like microwaves, dishwashers, washing machines etc all use this technology. In the transportation sector they are used in automobiles. Airplanes use them for advanced avionics and other safety measures. In the technology sector they are used in mini wireless devices called motes.


The Embedded System technologies provided by us have the following characteristics:
  • Embedded Systems never have stand alone devices. Most of them consist of small computerized parts that are within the larger devices.
  • The devices with embedded systems are more than general computers that are supposed to be multitasking, in fact they are created to perform more specific tasks
  • Most of these systems have instructions written on them that are stored in ROM, otherwise they have very small memory, with no keyboards or screens

CEBS designs these systems in order to gain leverage over their competitors by providing them with utility that is far more reliable. We believe in investing significantly in developing assets and delivering solutions that act as accelerants in the success of a company.

The Embedded systems have a variegated range of user interfaces. They can range from once having no interface; to the ones that can have very complex graphic users interface that can be like the modern computers. Some of the simple embedded systems possess LEDs, buttons, graphics or LCDS with simple menus. On the other hand the complex ones can use touch capacitated graphical screens, or may be the ones that have screen edge buttons which happen to provide more flexibility to the devices. They could also be handheld devices with joysticks pointing toward them.

CEBS offers expertise in developing embedded systems with different kinds of processors. Processors in Embedded Systems are broadly divided into two categories, ones with ordinary microprocessors and other with microcontrollers. The latter has many peripherals on chips; which leads to its reduced size and prices. There are many kinds of CPU architectures that are used with these. They can range from Von Neumann, RISC, VLIW or many more; that depends on utility. With CEBS the excellence is all geared towards providing excellent operational quality. The systems so designed by us are such that they are able to deliver projects on time, within the stipulated budgets and with zero tolerances for any loopholes. By providing efficient convergent technology we are pioneers for all kind of hardware and software related activities as we aim at enriching them with our expertise

In order to develop smart and efficient products and services, CEBS uses compilers, sensors, actuators, assemblers and debuggers to create results that are highly advanced technologically. Some specific tools are used along with these. For example in circuit debuggers, utilities are made to add checksum. For the digital processing many developers can use math workbench like Scilab, MATLAB, math cad etc. In order to optimize the hardware capacity, customized compliers or linkers are also used. Some of the embedded systems can also have their own special languages to enhance the existing languages like Fortis. For more complex utilities; CEBS is also able to do open programming with Linux, or with the use of Embedded Java

While designing solutions for our clients, we at CEBS consider Reliability as the core issue. The systems designed by us are such that they are supposed to be operational for many years. Along with this they are also supposed to work on self defense mechanisms that are able to detect the flaws and also rectify them on their own (if possible). In order to give unsurpassed utility and convenience the systems thus designed are such that they are tested repeatedly. We do repeated verification and validation to keep up with our self imposed quality norms. There are services of functional testing and reliability assessments that are done in order to provide the best to our clients.

Various techniques are followed by us in order to maintain and recover from the specific issue. At times we design in keeping with the trusted Computing Base (TCB) architecture; this ensures a highly secure and reliable system environment. We also use ‘Watchdog Timer’ techniques that resets the computer, in case the software otherwise does not notify the computer. We also use the ‘Embedded Hypervisor’ technique so as to provide secure encapsulation for any secondary element. This kind of a secure system enables any faults from propagating from one subsystem to another and it thereby improves the reliability of the system.

CEBS has an understanding that the Embedded Systems are responsible for offering greater device intelligence, differentiation, and high quality products. It is the significant enabler in many fields, therefore we are always striving to  provide our clients with operational excellence that sets CEBS apart!.
