With the development of Internet and the coming of the post-PC era, the embedded systems is becoming the center of interest in the IT industry and exhibiting broad potential market. Meanwhile, the embedded applications are calling for beter performance and functionality of embedded systems. Therefore how to select a reasonable hardware/software platform and design an excellent integrated platform for multifunctional embedded applications is the focus of this thesis.The main work of this dissertation could be summarized as follows. First, the concept of embbeded system and criterias of choosing system's software and hardware are presented. And a hardware platform named "ARM-uClinux based embedded system product platform" is developed. Secondly, the paper analyses the structure of uClinux and ARM,then introduces how to port uClinux to the platform. As a part of an embedded system, Bootloarder are designed. And many services of various types are offered, such as serial port communicating , LCD screen displaying. |
