摘要

隨著科技的發展，半導體設計及和製造技術快速的進步，各種微控制器和周邊控制晶片的性能增加且成本降低，這些技術的進步開啟了所謂的後PC時代，擷取出所需的功能整合而成”嵌入式系統”，提供專用、低成本、整合性的服務。數位像機、手機、PDA等都是嵌入式系統的應用實例。

我們將以嵌入式系統為基本，進而配合802.11b無線網路的使用，針對一般商家經營者開發出一套店家使用的管理系統，除了電腦化作業管理、整合資料庫應用發展出許多新功能外，並透過網頁提供不同的使用者介面網頁給不同的使用者 (像是餐廳裡的點餐員、收銀員或是管理者等)，再配合利用無線網路的行動優勢，讓店家經營、管理更為便利、有效率。

而針對特定功能實作整合而成體積小成本低的嵌入式系統，我們使用open source的Linux作業系統作為系統的軟體基本架構，更增加了實作上的多元化及便利性，是故，嵌入式系統的普及將會是不可抵擋的新趨勢。而開發嵌入式系統的技術和技巧更是競爭的優勢。所以我們除了徹底了解開發嵌入式系統的方法和步驟，並且實作出便利的商家管理系統，還需要配合使用便利的程式開發除錯工作以縮短產品開發週期，提高效率。

With the development of advanced technology and the rapid progress of the design and the manufacturing technique of semiconductors, the performance of the microprocessor and peripheral control chips have been enhanced and the production cost therefore has been reduced. The advancement of technology has opened the so-called post-PC age, and the necessary functions are applied and integrated into an “embedded system” to meet the needs of special purpose, low cost and integrated service. Digital cameras, cell phones and PDAs are all applications of embedded system.

Therefore, based on the embedded system and the employment of 802.11b wireless networks, a management system for business use is developed. Besides the new functions developed from the computerized operating management and integrated database application, different user interface web pages are provided for different users via web pages (such as the waiters, clerks and managers of a restaurant). Moreover, the operation and management of shops will be more convenient and efficient with the cooperation of utilizing the advantages of wireless networks.

The embedded system with small volume and low cost that is produced and integrated for specific functions, using Linux OS with open source as the basic software structure of system, has further been more diversified and convenient in practice. Thus, the popularity of embedded systems will become an irresistible new trend, and the technology of developing embedded Linux systems will become the advantages for competition as well. So we not only need to thoroughly understand the method and process of developing embedded Linux systems and produce the convenient management system for businesses, but also need to utilize the debug work for program development so as to shorten the developing period of products and enhance the efficiency.
