Embedded System | Embedded Software Programming


Really good code usually consists of a large number of relatively small subroutines (or methods) that can be composed as building blocks in many different ways. But when I review production embedded software I often see the use of fewer, bigger, and less composable subroutines.This makes the code more bug-prone and often makes it more difficult to test as well.

The reason often given for not using small subroutines is runtime execution cost. Doing a subroutine call to perform a small function can slow down a program significantly if it is done all the time. One of my soapboxes is that you should almost always buy a bigger CPU rather than make software more complex -- but for now I'm going to assume that it is really important that you minimize execution time.

Here's a toy example to illustrate the point. Consider a saturating increment, that will add one to a value, but will make sure that the value doesn't exceed the maximum positive value for an unsigned integer:


  int SaturatingIncrement(int x)
  { if (x != MAXINT)
    { x++;
    }
    return(x);
  }

So you might have some code that looks like this:

  ...
  x = SaturatingIncrement(x);
  ...
  z = SaturatingIncrement(z);

You might find that if you do a lot of saturating increments your code runs slowly. Usually when this happens I see one of two solutions.  Some folks just paste the actual code in like this:

  ...
  if (x != MAXINT)  { x++; }
  ...
  if (z != MAXINT)  { z++; }


A big problem with this is that if you find a bug, you get to to track down all the places where the code shows up and fix the bug. Also, code reviews are harder because at each point you have to ask whether or not it is the same as the other places or if there has been some slight change. Finally, testing can be difficult because now you have to test MAXINT for every variable to get complete coverage of all the branch paths.

A slightly better solution is to use a macro:

#define SaturatingIncrement(w)  { if ((w) != MAXINT)  { (w)++; } }
which lets you go back to more or less the original code. This macro works by pasting the text in place of the macro. So the source you write is:

  ...
  SaturatingIncrement(x);
  ...
  SaturatingIncrement(z);

but the preprocessor uses the macro to feed into the compiler this code:

  ...
  if (x != MAXINT)  { x++; }
  ...
  if (z != MAXINT)  { z++; }
 thus eliminating the subroutine call overhead.

The nice things about a macro are that if there is a bug you only have to fix it one place, and it is much more clear what you are trying to do when there is code review. However, complex macros can be cumbersome and there can be arcane bugs with macros.  (For example, do you know why I put "(w)" in the macro definition instead of just "w"?) Arguably you can unit test a macro by invoking it, but that test may well miss strange macro expansion bugs.

The good news is that in most newer C compilers there is a better way. Instead of using a macro, just use a subroutine definition with the "inline" keyword.

  inline int SaturatingIncrement(int x)
  { if (x != MAXINT)
    { x++; }
    return(x);
  }

The inline keyword tells the compiler to expand the code definition in-line with the calling function as a macro would do. But instead of doing textual substitution with a preprocessor, the in-lining is done by the compiler itself. So you can write your code using as many inline subroutines as you like without paying any run-time speed penalty. Additionally, the compiler can do type checking and other analysis to help you find bugs that can't be done with macros.

There can be a few quirks to inline. Some compilers will only inline up to a certain number of lines of code (there may be a compiler switch to set this). Some compilers will only inline functions defined in the same .c file (so you may have to #include that .c file to be able to inline it). Some compilers may have a flag to force inlining rather than just making that keyword a suggestion to the compiler. To be sure inline is really working you'll need to check the assembly language output of your compiler. But, overall, you should use inline instead of macros whenever you can, which should be most of the time.

Embedded Vision Growth Predicted | Embedded Training at Sofcon

Shipments of embedded vision devices in the automotive, industrial automation, physical security and business intelligence markets are forecast to exceed 14 million units in 2018, up from almost four million units this year.

Utilizing a combination of embedded systems and computer vision, embedded vision enables devices to use video inputs to better understand their environment, applying logic and decision making to video signals.

The maturity of embedded vision algorithms varies by application market. For instance, while embedded vision technology has been active for some time in markets like physical security and industrial automation, the consumer industry represents more of an emerging opportunity.

However, despite the synergies in algorithm requirements across application markets, there are very few vendors that are active across multiple applications. In some markets, like automotive, the long sales cycles and high qualifying requirements have limited new competition. In others, such as physical security, the fragmented equipment market means that algorithms need to be optimized for a large number of products which can act as a barrier to new entrants.

While the software and hardware vendors in embedded vision are unlikely to move into every application market overnight, developments in the automotive space, in particular, should help spur more accurate and reliable algorithms across the embedded vision industry. This trend, combined with increased awareness in the consumer market for augmented reality and gesture recognition, means that demand for embedded vision devices will grow rapidly in the decade ahead.

IHS Technology has research teams focused on automotive, industrial automation, physical security, gaming, digital signage and cellular communications. Bringing together these industry experts, in turn, has helped provide for the first time a substantive overview of the size, penetration rate and forecast growth of the embedded vision market.
