Host Communication Standards Sample Clauses

Host Communication Standards. An embedded system is often controlled from a host computer. During development and test- ing, there is a need to read out logs and other relevant data, and there might also be a need to send commands to the embedded system during test runs. Depending on the application, there might also be a need for communication with a host computer during normal use. As an example, a UAV might record telemetry data during flight, which can be downloaded to a host after landing. For these situations, there must be an interface for connecting the embedded system to the host computer. There are a number of suitable standards with different characteristics. The interface standard should be chosen based on the following considerations: • Performance: The performance spectrum of the different communication interfaces is huge. Identifying performance requirements are, therefore, important. • Availability on host computer. It is often important that the embedded device can be connected to an ordinary PC without extra equipment. If this is the case, one of the interfaces found on common PCs should be chosen. • Ease of implementation. Software stack complexity can be a limiting factor for small embedded systems with limited memory and processing power. Physical requirements, such as connector footprint size and high-speed or RF considerations can also influ- ence choice of interface. • Power capabilities; if the device should be powered from the communication cable • Communication distance; how long is the distance to the host computer. This section will go through the most common interface standards used for the purposes mentioned above, and discuss their characteristics. The are two main categories: Wired and wireless. The section will discuss both. USB: USB is one of the most widely used interfaces for wired devices today and is the prime candidate for connecting most types of devices to a host computer. USB has the following technical characteristics: • High performance interface. USB 3.0 SuperSpeed supports up to 10 Gb/s. • Widely available, present on all modern PCs. • Complex interface, although software stacks exist for small embedded devices. If high performance is required, the software and physical design becomes more challenging. • The host can provide power to the device over USB. • USB cables can be maximum 3–5 meters (depending on transfer speed) Ethernet: Ethernet is the most important wired interface for connecting a PC to a computer network. This should also be...
