the Internet of things is considered the "next industrial revolution", because it will change people's life, work, entertainment and travel, and even change the interaction between global enterprises. We must first understand the concept of the Internet of things. In fact, the essence of the Internet of things is still the Internet, but the terminal is no longer a computer, but an embedded computer system and its supporting sensors. This is the inevitable result of the development of computer science and technology. Computers that serve human beings present various forms, such as wearable devices, environmental monitoring devices, virtual reality devices and so on. As long as there is hardware or products connected to the Internet and data interaction occurs, it is called the Internet of things.

After decades of development, embedded technology has been used in all aspects of our life. However, embedded technology has always been small and professional, which makes many students in non embedded fields shy away. With the development of the past decade, the Internet of things has covered more and more fields, including home, commerce, industry, agriculture and other fields. It has not only attracted students from the original embedded field, but also attracted many students from non embedded fields to enter the field of the Internet of things. From the above development trend, we can find four important changes: the technology involved in the Internet of things is becoming more and more extensive, the requirements for the development platform of the Internet of things are becoming higher and higher, the requirements of the Internet of things for developers have changed, and more emphasis has been placed on tools and ease of use. The operating system of the Internet of things has broken through the scope of the traditional operating system kernel and started to integrate more and more capabilities. The Internet of things is integrated into the cloud, It has rich application scenarios and business models and can aggregate more resources.


The "things" connected by the Internet of things are all embedded systems, and the application system of the Internet of things can also be regarded as the network application of the embedded system. Before the era of the Internet of things, the traditional embedded systems were relatively simple. Most of the traditional embedded systems had no operating systems or only simple operating systems. They had limited perception, calculation and control capabilities for external devices, poor human-computer interaction functions, and did not have networking capabilities. They could not access the Internet of things, and could not meet the relevant needs of ubiquitous perception, reliable transmission and intelligent processing of the Internet of things. Therefore, with the development of computer, electronics, information and other technologies and the continuous improvement of the application demand of the Internet of things, the embedded system in the Internet of things era will develop in the direction of higher computing processing performance, lower power consumption, lower cost, smaller volume and better network connectivity, so that the embedded system in the Internet of things era has data transmission path, data storage function, proprietary operating system, proprietary application program Following the communication protocol of the Internet of things and having a unique number that can be recognized in the world network, the related fields that originally used the traditional embedded system need to continuously upgrade their products to meet the application requirements of the Internet of things.


With the evolution from embedded to the Internet of things, the technical complexity is getting higher and higher. However, for the developers of the Internet of things, the threshold is bound to be lower and lower. More and more developers can develop more innovative products based on simple script languages, rich ecological libraries and tools to meet the needs of people for convenient life and efficient production. As AI, 5g and IOT technologies become more and more mature, the demand for various data acquisition devices will begin to increase significantly. The realization of these functions by IOT + peripheral circuits is just in line with the characteristics of these technologies. Along with the policies responded by the state, the demand for supporting the Internet of industry and things will only increase. Including 5g base station construction, smart city and smart rail transit, new energy vehicles, big data centers, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet of things and other industries, which need to be precipitated and need the continuous output of counterpart talents.


The main function of embedded technology is to perform special functions. It can not use general-purpose computers, but also devices or systems controlled by internal computers. His fields mainly include: mobile phone field, automotive electronics field, electronic products, military industry and aerospace. Embedded technology combines computer, sensor, integrated circuit and other technologies. He can supervise and manage the equipment. And now embedded technology has received a lot of attention in the modern society. Everyone recognizes this technology and has a very good development prospect. The future is unimaginable. In the future, human resources may be liberated and many jobs will be replaced by robots. How the country plans the popularization of the Internet of things and how to settle the unemployed people are the challenges we are facing now. At the same time, it is becoming more and more intelligent. If robots learn to think, we cannot imagine. Ultramodern is close at hand. The more so, we will face greater challenges. To adapt to the development of people in the new era, we must work harder.
