From the beginning of 2020, the first two, "Microcontroller and Embedded Systems" launched " Preface " section, each lasting an industry expert invited to share their views about the hot spots for today's embedded technology, embedded technology to satisfy the majority of practitioners Enthusiasts/enthusiasts. This article published today is the foreword of the 11th issue of 2020!
Intro
Build distributed OS to solve the complexity problem of intelligent embedded system

In 2025, smart technology will permeate every person, every family, and every organization. 58% of the world’s population will be able to enjoy 5G networks, 14% of households will have “robot butlers”, and 97% of large companies will adopt AI. Increasing demand for smart devices and increasingly complex smart embedded systems require more efficient and flexible technology and organizational support.
1. Build a distributed OS to solve the technical complexity of embedded systems
Embedded systems for the intelligent Internet of Things are becoming more and more complex and need to support heterogeneous architectures, as well as various hardware modules, connection protocols, middleware, and cloud connections to adapt to different screen sizes to meet performance requirements and interactive experience. The traditional OS oriented to a single platform can no longer meet the needs of intelligent embedded systems, leading to complex and inefficient development. Just as the era of smart phones needs a new mobile Internet OS, smart embedded systems also need a brand new smart IoT OS, which uses the concept of distributed systems to build smart embedded OSs and provides the following key features:
1) Easy to use-there must be rich and easy to use development tools, complete documentation resources and considerate technical support;
2) Comprehensive-provide a wealth of software modules, extensive hardware support, integrated cloud connection, comprehensive maintenance plan;
3) Openness-open source code, open community, compatible with open standards and internationalization;
4) Special-seamless Internet of Things, free application flow, convenient equipment configuration and fast data transmission.
Distributed OS is the jewel in the OS field, and the coming era of intelligence is the best time to pick this jewel. The distributed architecture can not only solve the complexity problem of intelligent embedded systems, but also extend the interactive experience from a single device to multiple devices, supporting a richer innovation scenario.
2. Build a distributed organization to solve the complexity of embedded system organization
The construction of intelligent embedded systems is not only a technical problem, but also an organizational problem. A well-functioning intelligent embedded system needs to cover multiple technical fields such as radio frequency, multimedia, security, AI, algorithms, applications, interaction, performance, power consumption, system simulation, drivers, local connectivity and cloud services. How to obtain these technical teams and organize them effectively is a problem faced by every intelligent embedded system. The traditional organizational structure of the PC era and the Internet era can no longer solve this problem. It is necessary to use a distributed concept to build a new type of intelligent embedded system organization, break organizational boundaries, promote collaborative innovation, reduce transaction costs between organizations, and finally solve embedded The complexity of the type system organization.
The era of intelligence is accelerating, let us collaborate and innovate together to create a colorful and intelligent world!
