Embedded Architecture

Purpose

Design the firmware architecture for an embedded/IoT device, including RTOS selection, memory layout, power state machine, and task decomposition.

Scope Constraints

Analyzes hardware specifications, firmware requirements, and power budgets to produce architecture recommendations. Does not generate or compile firmware code. Does not interact with hardware debuggers or flash tools.

Inputs

• Target hardware (MCU, memory, peripherals, power source)
• Feature requirements (sensing, communication, actuation, UI)
• Power budget and battery life requirements
• Real-time constraints (latency, update frequency)
• Regulatory requirements (FCC, CE, safety)
