Embedded systems

  • SoC (System on a Chip)

    • small form-factor
      • external int support
      • usually lower power consumptions
      • difficult to upgrade hardware

  • FPGA (Field-programmable gate array)

    • integrated circuit configurable after manufacturing
    • common in firewalls, routers

  • SCADA/ICS

    • found where you have industrial equipment
    • distributed control systems
    • require extensive segmentation/security from outside
