Abstract

Gömülü
sistemler belirli görevleri yerine getirmek amacıyla tasarlanıp beyaz eşya,
trafik ışıkları, akıllı fabrikalar, ofis cihazları ve nesnelerin interneti gibi
alanlarda kullanılır. Farklı gömülü sistemlerinin programlanması için farklı
elektronik kartlar ve bilgisayar desteği gerekebilir. Böyle durumda bazı üreticilerin
gömülü sistemlere yazılım yükleme işini dış sağlayıcılardan alınan hazır programlama
cihazları ile yaptıkları görülmüştür. Bu cihazlarda paralel programlama imkânı
olmadığından yazılım yükleme işi ancak sırayla yapılabilmektedir. Bu cihazlara
firma içinde birçok birim aynı anda ihtiyaç duyabilir. Tüm bunlar maliyeti
yükseltmekte ve performansı düşürmektedir. Diğer yandan, birçok durumda teknik
servis ekipleri müşterilere giderken operasyonel nedenlerle bilgisayar
taşımamaktadır. Dolayısıyla, bilgisayar kullanılmadan, tablet veya cep telefonu
üzerinden gömülü sistem kartlarına yazılım yükleme işleminin yapılması uygun
bir strateji olabilir. Android işletim sistemi günümüzde akıllı telefon ve
tabletlerin ötesinde yaygın bir kullanım alanına sahip olmuştur. Öyle ki,
gömülü sistemler ve bunları programlamaya yarayan cihazlarda dahi Android
kullanılabilmektedir. Tablet ve cep telefonlarının maliyet, kullanım kolaylığı
ve taşınabilirlik avantajlarından dolayı kişisel bilgisayarlara göre daha fazla
kullanım alanı bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Vestel Beyaz Eşya AŞ için ürünlere
özgü farklı konsept işlemcileri destekleyen, paralel programla yapabilen ve
üretim ortamına-koşullarına uygun bir yazılım yükleme cihazı tasarlanması ve
gerçeklenmesi yapılmıştır. Üzerinde çalışılan gömülü sistem beyaz eşya olmasına
karşın, tasarlanan sistem farklı gömülü sistemlerde de etkin olarak
kullanılabilir.

An Android-based Microprocessor Programmer Software and Interface for Embedded Systems

Abstract

Embedded systems are
designed to complete certain tasks in the fields of white goods, traffic
lights, smart factories, office devices, the Internet of things and many more.
Installing programs to different embedded systems may require different
integrated circuit cards and/or computer support. Hence, it is observed that
some vendors have been outsourcing the devices that are used to program the
embedded systems, from sub-contractors. Since most of these devices do not
support parallel program installation, the flash programming can only be done
sequentially. Yet, many branches in the same company may require these devices
contemporaneously. All these increase the costs and repress the performance. Further,
in many cases, technical support personnel do not carry computers when visiting
customer locations, for various reasons. Hence, it can be a decent strategy
that programming cards of embedded systems, without using computers, but only
smartphones and tablets. Today, the Android OS has become so widespread, that
its usage goes beyond the smartphones and tablets. Yet, the embedded systems
and even the devices that are used to program those may use Android. The cost,
mobility, ease of use and ease of transport advantages of mobile phones and
tablets provide them more areas of use, when compared to personal/office
computers. In the case study that constitutes the foundation of our work; a
flash programming device that supports different concept processors (specific
to different goods), can install (flash) programs in parallel, and complies
with the production facility requirements has been designed and implemented for
Vestel Beyaz Eşya (White Goods) AŞ, who originally outsources the task. The target
field was white goods, but the designed system can easily and efficiently be
used in other embedded systems, too.
