Embedded Systems/Common Protocols
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
This is a list of common protocols used in embedded systems. Eventually, this list will become hyperlinks to sources of information on each.
- I2C
- CAN
- BlueTooth
- InfraRed
- ZigBee
- SPI
- RS-232
- USB
- MINES (Microcontroller Interpreter for Networked Embedded Systems) was designed for very small embedded systems (see Gallery of MINES Devices).
- the Tiny Embedded Network
- IEEE Standard for Sensor Transducer Interface
- the three byte Mini SSC protocol
- JTAG
- NTSC / PAL television video output: w:TV Typewriter, Generating TV signal by PSoC, Generating TV signal with the PICs, PIC Breakout, ... Parallax Propeller has a video generator ...
If you are designing a new protocol because none of these meet your needs (which are what, exactly?), you may want to consider the w:Network protocol design principles, and post rough drafts to the PICA standards wiki for expert review.
