Abstract :
In recent years, the embedded system has become a common goal sought by the academic world such as computer science, electronics, electrical engineering... etc or product developers. As we enter into the post-PC era, advances in electronics, information technology, and mobile computing provide the basis for the development of embedded systems and related products. This paper documents all relevant knowledge and procedures related to the modeling of a system structure, from the selection of main hardware control components ARM and FPGA, the construction of a workable hardware system, programming of drivers, implementation of a real-time operating system and the running of applications, to the final hardware and software testing of the entire system. The structuring of a system is not the most complicated, but the most fundamental. Our aim is to provide references for researchers studying in this particular field.
