Overview

Uplatz provides this comprehensive course on Legacy Embedded Systems. It is a self-paced course consisting of video tutorials. You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

A legacy embedded system is obsolete computing software or hardware that is still in usage. Such a system still meets the requirements it was first designed for, but doesn't allow for growth. As technology develops, most businesses find themselves dealing with the issues caused by an existing legacy system. Instead of offering companies the latest capabilities and services, such as cloud computing and improved data integration, a legacy system saves a company in a business backlog.

Legacy hardware and software systems are defined as those that are presently executing useful tasks, but can get likely interruption or termination of operation in the future. The reasons comprise the need for increasing functionality, processing and interface scalability, better form (size, weight, power, volume) requirements, decreased maintenance and lifecycle support cost.

Some of the reasons as to why a company continues to use a legacy system are such as Investment, Fear and Difficulty. Although maintaining a legacy system is expensive over time, upgrading to a new system requires an up-front investment, both in dollars and manpower. Secondly, change is hard, and moving a whole company or even a single department to a new system can inspire some internal resistance. Furthermore, the legacy software may be built with an obsolete programming language that makes it hard to find personnel with the skills to make the migration. There may be little documentation about the system and the original developers have left the company. Sometimes simply planning the migration of data from a legacy system and defining the scope of requirements for a new system are overwhelming.

An embedded system design process aimed at two objectives. Firstly, it will give us an outline to the various steps in embedded system design before we investigate into them in more detail. It will allow us to reflect the design methodology itself. An embedded system design process is how a manufacturer regulates the necessities for a minor computerized system embedded inside a product. In an embedded system, hardware and software work in a collected manner.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
