Challenges of IoT embedded software

1.security:
• IoT devices often handle sensitive user data, making them prime targets for cyberattacks.

• Many IoT devices lack strong encryption or security updates, increasing vulnerabilities.

• Physical security risks: Devices can be stolen or tampered with.

2.limited memory:
• IoT devices typically have low memory, CPU power, and storage, making it challenging to run complex software.

• Running AI algorithms or real-time analytics on embedded systems is difficult.

3. Power Consumption & Battery Life

• Many IoT devices rely on batteries, so energy-efficient software is crucial.

• Continuous data processing can drain power quickly.


4. Connectivity Issues

• IoT devices often operate in remote locations with poor or intermittent network connectivity.

• Handling network failures and offline operation is a major challenge.

5. Scalability & Maintenance

• As IoT networks grow, managing thousands or millions of devices becomes complex.

• Firmware updates and bug fixes need to be deployed remotely without disrupting operations.

6. Real-Time Processing & Latency

• Some IoT applications (e.g., autonomous vehicles, industrial automation) require real-time responses.

• Delays in processing can lead to system failures or safety risks.


7. Standardization & Interoperability

• Different manufacturers use different communication protocols, leading to compatibility issues.

• Lack of common standards makes it hard for IoT devices to communicate seamlessly.

8. Debugging & Testing Complexity

• IoT embedded software is hard to debug due to its interaction with hardware, sensors, and networks.

• Remote debugging is challenging, especially when devices are deployed in the field.

9. Cost & Development Time

• Developing reliable IoT software requires specialized expertise in embedded systems, which can be expensive.

• Extensive testing and compliance with regulations further add to development time.
10. Data Management & Storage

• IoT devices generate huge amounts of data, requiring efficient storage, processing, and transmission.

• Ensuring data integrity and synchronization across multiple devices is complex.


Embedded computing examples
1.Central heating systems
• They use a furnace room to transform chemical energy into thermal
energy, distributed to various rooms within a structure.
• Thermostat controls are an integral part of these.
• Overheating one area while leaving another chilly is a common
problem in homes with central heating systems that lack temperature
controls.

• Examples include: Office buildings, Factories ,Grocery stores , Schools


Hospitals.
2.GPS
• Location, time, and speed may all be precisely synchronized with the
help of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and its network of
satellites and receivers.
• An embedded system is built into the receiver or data-gathering
equipment to simplify using GPS. The built-in GPS helps customers
effortlessly get to their desired areas.
• Mostly used in car navigation and mobile devices.
3.Medical devices

Embedded systems have long been used in medical equipment used in


hospitals and other medical settings. They are being used in a new
generation of medical equipment to assist in caring for patients who
need close, round-the-clock monitoring and attention at home. Such
devices include sensors built in to monitor vital signs like heart rate,
pulse, or implant readings and then upload that information to the
cloud, where doctors may access it wirelessly from their own devices.
To effectively diagnose and treat patients, medical gadgets have been
increasingly adopted: Pacemaker Defibrillator Ultrasound scanners
4.Automotive system
• The goal of developing and implementing automotive embedded
systems is to increase vehicle security. With better car safety
features, the number of people killed in car accidents has decreased
dramatically.
• Examples:-Adaptive cruise control, automobile breakdown warning,
pedestrian detection, merging assistance, airbags.
• Car navigation system ,Anti-lock braking system.
5.Factory robot
• Factory robots are built to operate in hazardous environments while performing
specific jobs, and the individual components are linked together using a unified,
embedded system.
• Robots use actuators, sensors, and software to safely sense their surroundings
and derive the necessary output in normal mechanical work.
• Robots that lack an embedded system depend on remote computing or control
systems. This may increase the potential for harm by delaying or breaking the
connecting link between the manufacturing robot and its external computer
system.
• Today, these systems combine AI and ML to make machinery smarter, safer, and
more efficient. For instance, computers can now detect and eliminate flaws in the
manufacturing process that a human eye might miss.
• Factory robots have a range of applications: Assembly line Quality monitoring
