Abstract

An embedded system is made up of electronic hardware and software. It contains a sensor to sense the environment and actuators to respond. There are millions of such embedded devices are available in the environment, but interoperability between them is a significant issue. IoT is a technology to provide communication between such embedded devices over the Internet. Therefore, IoT came into existence, and it is an outcome of the fourth industrial revolution of disruptive communication technologies. It is integrated with sensors, embedded systems, computing, and communication technologies. Embedded system is the heart of IoT. IoT computes and communicates the data and store it in the cloud for future data analysis. IoT is mainly to provide seamless data storing and analyzing the environment. This paper addresses the design aspects of a system required for IoT to use in any general application. This paper presents system architectural comparison, interrupts, task execution, scheduling, switching tasks and latency, prioritization of tasks, real-time tasks, real-time operating system, multitasking, sensors, actuators, memory footprints, and communication standards. This paper summarizes the architecture and its processors recommended for IoT.
