"Small" System Example
- Inexpensive, low-end design
  - 100 Kilo-IPS, 1-10 Kilo-bits memory
  - Single-chip 8-bit microcontroller is only digital IC
  - One real-time loop for CPU
  - Not considered mission-critical, but indirectly affects
       personal safety
    - Bare minimum hardware, small hand-coded assembly software
    - No redundancy, is expected not to break within lifetime
  - Low development costs ($100K - $1M)
  - Millions of units sold
  - 10-15 year lifetime
- Real-life systems
  - Automotive auxiliary components
  - Consumer electronics
  - Kitchen appliances
  - Home automation
  - "Smart" I/O for distributed control systems
