　　1.1 Introduction
　　In this chapter we set the stage for our study of embedded computing system design.In order to understand design processes， we first need to understand how and why microprocessors are used for control， user interface， signal processing， and many other tasks. The microprocessor has become so common that it is easy to forget how hard some things are to do without it.
　　We first review the various uses of microprocessors. We then review the major rea-sons why microprocessors are used in system design-delivering complex behaviors， fast design turnaround， and so on. Next， in Section l.2， we walk through the design of an example system to understand the major steps in designing a system. Section l.3 includes an in-depth look at techniques for specifying embedded systems-we use these specification techcuques throughout the book. In Section l.4， we use a model train controller as an example for applying these specification techniques. Section 1.5 provides a chapter-by-chapter tour of the book.
　　1.2 Complex systems and microprocessors
　　We tend to think of our laptop as a computer， but it is really one of many types of computer systems. A computer is a stored program machine that fetches and executes instructions from a memory. We can attach different types of devices to the computer， load it with different types of software， and build many different types of systems.
　　So what is an embedded computer system? Loosely defined， it is any device that includes a programmable computer but is not itself intended to be a general-purpose computer. Thus， a PC is not itself an embedded computing system. But a fax machine or a clock built from a microprocessor is an embedded computing system.
　　This means that embedded computing system design is a useful skill for many types of product design. Automobiles， cell phones， and even household appliances make extensive use of microprocessors， Designers in many fields must be able to identify where microprocessors can be used， design a hardware platform with I/O devices that can support the required tasks， and implement software that performs the required processing. Computer engineering， like mechanical design or thermo-dynamics， is a fundamental discipline that can be applied in many different domains. But of course， embedded computing system design does not stand alone. Many of the challenges encountered in the design of an embedded computing system are not computer engineering-for example， they may be mechanical or analog electrical problems. In this book we are primarily interested in the embedded computer itself， so we will concentrate on the hardware and software that enable the desired functions in the final product.
　　1.2.1 Embedding computers
　　Computers have been embedded into applications since the earliest days of computing. One example is the Whirlwind， a computer designed at MITin the late 1940s and early 1950s. Whirlwind was also the first computer designed to support real-time operation and was originally conceived as a mechanism for controlling an aircraft simulator. Even though it was extremely large physically compared to today's computers （it con-tained over 4，000 vacuum tubes， for example）， its complete design from components to system was attuned to the needs of real time embedded computing. The utility of computers in replacing mechanical or human controllers was evident from the very beginning of the computer era-for example， computers were proposed to control chemical processes in the late 1940s [Sto95].
