NC program processor is an important module in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) system. NC program processor is divided into interpreter and look-ahead function. In the paper, the macro variable computation, the geometric transformation and the look-ahead pre-interpolation which is widely adopted in machining small-line blocks are introduced for their importance in modern CNC system. The former two works are executed in the interpreter, and the last one is performed in look-ahead pre-interpolation function. A method for five formats of computing macro variable is proposed as well as the proportion and rotation transformation in the interpreter. Then, four conditions including angle constraint between two NC blocks, chord constraint rule, length of the small-line and monotone rule are also discussed. NC program processor is implemented in an embedded control system based ARM (advanced RISC machine), DSP (digital signal processor) and FPGA (field programmable gate array) processors. Experiments show the system is reliable.

In many embedded system, researches focus on how to use on-chip memory, like SPM, to reduce the energy consumption generated by off-chip memory, such as SDRAM or DRAM. They put the often use instructions and important data into on-chip memory to reduce the power because off-chip memory consumes a large of energy than on-chip memory. However, stack is a key factor that impacts the power consumption, since when function is called, the passing parameter, local variables and temporary data will use stack. We organize a shadow stack scratch-pad memory which operation behavior is somewhat like Cache, to store the stack data to reduce the stack access of off-chip memory. This memory architecture is called S3PM. The S3PM has two segments to remap the off-chip memory, leading CPU to access the S3PM when the access address is in the range of remapped area byS3PM. The paper proposes a novel memory subsystem architecture which constituted by the off-chip SDRAM, on-chip S3PM and traditional SPM. The S3PM is used to remap the stack off-chip memory which address is accessed high frequently while traditional SPM is used to store instruction and data. The results shows that the S3PM can reduce many energy but using a little size of on-chip memory.

Multiple sub-array beam-space MUSIC (MSB-MUSIC) is a new beam-space high resolution DOA estimation algorithm. In order to solve the problem of huge computation load of the algorithm, a real-time processing scheme based on FPGA and DSP array is proposed and implemented on the hardware. In the hardware platform MSB-MUSIC with 80 channels data is real-time implemented, where both the digital down conversion based on CORDIC and the eigenvalue decomposition using the two-side CORDIC based parallel Jacobi algorithm are implemented on the FPGA. The calculation of the covariance matrix and MUSIC angular spectra are implemented on DSP array, respectively. The parallel processing platform has been applied to the shallow water high resolution multi-beam echo sounder, and the lake test proves that the system can achieve the high performance.

In this paper, we address the problem of maximizing sensor networks lifetime under coverage constraint. A Distributed Coverage Control Strategy based on Precise Coverage Degree (DSP) is proposed for both homogeneous and heterogeneous sensor networks randomly deployed. We extend the coverage degree concept by defining Pure Coverage and Joint Coverage. DSP adopts the probabilistic sense model, which is a more practical model compared with the binary sensing model. In DSP, each node calculates the coverage degree locally, so it can provide differentiated service of coverage degree, which can be adjusted dynamically according to the precision requirement by the application. Our protocol takes the complicated boundary effect into account. Experiments results show that with k-coverage guarantee, DSP can reduce the number of the active nodes and prolong the networks lifetime effectively. In addition, DSP can balance the energy consumption, and the protocol needs limited communication.

An appropriate formal model should be established to perform simulation analysis in prophase of embedded system design. This paper analyzes the current Petri net models and presents an EPRES model which gives its structural definition, graphical representation and behavioral rules concretely. The places were extended to two types such as control places and data places in EPRES. Transition function and transition time delay were introduced. Then EPRES can specify and analyze the function realization, resource consumption and time constraint. Finally, an example of the EPRES representation of an embedded system is given to show that EPRES is suitable for embedded system modeling.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), secure data aggregation is an important application. Previous works are implemented by authentication among neighboring sensors. Considering that in many cases, data aggregation is both spatial and temporal correlation, this paper proposes a distributed and localized secure data aggregation algorithm based on behavior trust (BTDA). The security and reliability of the algorithm are implemented by using statistical hypothesis test for matching the reading sequence of sensors and statistical characteristics of the data aggregation. Simulation shows the algorithm efficiently.
