Abstract To address the issue that many devices are connected to the cloud during the manufacturing process, which causes severe delays in analyzing massive manufacturing data in the cloud, an FPGA-based architecture of cloud edge collaboration is proposed. In this architecture, manufacturing equipment is connected to the cloud through an FPGA-based embedded edge node. The device data obtained by the edge node is processed by the FPGA module and the embedded system module according to the time-sensitivity. Considering the limited computing power of a single edge node, to realize cloud-edge collaborative computing, a communication-oriented task model and a computing model for edge nodes are designed. The task model learns cloud to edge and edge-edge communication, and the task model realizes the function of migrating computing tasks to other nodes. The edge node system’s design is realized based on the communication-oriented task model and the computing model for edge nodes. The cloud edge collaboration method is researched and explored based on this system. A series of comparative experiments, comparing the time delay of the FPGA module and embedded system module processing the same data, the framework’s usability and data processing ability can be verified.

This study concerns the development of an embedded system with low computational resources and low power consumption. It uses the NXP LPC2106 with ARM7 processor architecture, for acquiring, processing and classifying images. This embedded system is design to detect and recognize traffic signs. Taking into account the processor capabilities and the desired features for the embedded system, a set of algorithms was developed that require low computational resources and memory. These features were accomplished using a modified Freeman Method in conjunction with a new algorithm "ear pull" proposed in this work. Each of these algorithms was tested with static images, using code developed for MATLAB and for the CMUcam3. The road environment was simulated and experimental tests were performed to measure traffic signs recognition rate on real environment. The technical limitations imposed by the embedded system led to an increased complexity of the project, however the final results provide a recognition rate of 77% on road tests. Thus, the embedded system features overcome the initial expectations and highlight the potentialities of both algorithms that were developed.

This study aims to create a control system that can turn on / turn off the water pump by simply pressing a button on the smartphone and monitoring how much electricity was used which will later be converted into cost value in rupiahs. This system is able to further regulate the use of water pumps, such as restrictions on daily use, restrictions on use at certain hours, and pumps can be set to automatically shut down after a few moments of use. This system consists of three main components, namely an embedded system, a website-based mobile application, and a web server. The embedded system consists of Wemos D1, ACS712 current sensor, and relay. From the tests conducted the system can turn on the water pump with an average response time of 2 seconds and the results of monitoring conducted have an average error value of 13.63%.

By increasing the demand for radio frequency (RF) and access of hackers and spoofers to low price hardware and software defined radios (SDR), radio frequency interference (RFI) became a more frequent and serious problem. In order to increase the security of satellite communication (Satcom) and guarantee the quality of service (QoS) of end users, it is crucial to detect the RFI in the desired bandwidth and protect the receiver with a proper mitigation mechanism. Digital narrowband signals are so sensitive into the interference and because of their special power spectrum shape, it is hard to detect and eliminate the RFI from their bandwidth. Thus, a proper detector requires a high precision and smooth estimation of input signal power spectral density (PSD). By utilizing the presented power spectrum by the simplified Welch method, this article proposes a solid and effective algorithm that can find all necessary interference parameters in the frequency domain while targeting practical implantation for the embedded system with minimum complexity. The proposed detector can detect several multi narrowband interferences and estimate their center frequency, bandwidth, power, start, and end of each interference individually. To remove multiple interferences, a chain of several infinite impulse response (IIR) notch filters with multiplexers is proposed. To minimize damage to the original signal, the bandwidth of each notch is adjusted in a way that maximizes the received signal to noise ratio (SNR) by the receiver. Multiple carrier wave interferences (MCWI) is utilized as a jamming attack to the Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite-Second Generation (DVB-S2) receiver and performance of a new detector and mitigation system is investigated and validated in both simulation and practical tests. Based on the obtained results, the proposed detector can detect a weak power interference down to −25 dB and track a hopping frequency interference with center frequency variation speed up to 3 kHz. Bit error ratio (BER) performance shows 3 dB improvement by utilizing new adaptive mitigation scenario compared to non-adaptive one. Finally, the protected DVB-S2 can receive the data with SNR close to the normal situation while it is under the attack of the MCWI jammer.

Recently, advances in technology have enabled embedded systems to be adopted for a variety of applications. Some of these applications require real-time 2D graphics processing running on limited design specifications such as low power consumption and a small area. In order to satisfy such conditions, including a specific 2D graphics accelerator in the embedded system is an effective method. This method reduces the workload of the processor in the embedded system by exploiting the accelerator. The accelerator assists the system to perform 2D graphics processing in real-time. Therefore, a variety of applications that require 2D graphics processing can be implemented with an embedded processor. In this paper, we present a 2D graphics accelerator for tiny embedded systems. The accelerator includes an optimized line-drawing operation based on Bresenham’s algorithm. The optimized operation enables the accelerator to deal with various kinds of 2D graphics processing and to perform the line-drawing instead of the system processor. Moreover, the accelerator also distributes the workload of the processor core by removing the need for the core to access the frame buffer memory. We measure the performance of the accelerator by implementing the processor, including the accelerator, on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and ascertaining the possibility of realization by synthesizing using the 180 nm CMOS process.
