Applications of embedded systems




An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions, sometimes with real-time computing constraints. It is usually embedded as part of a complete device including hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems have become very important today as they control many of the common devices we use.

Some [...]

Characteristics Of Embedded Systems




Embedded computing systems generally exhibit rich functionality—complex functionality is usually the reason for introducing CPUs into the design. However, they also exhibit many non-functional requirements that make the task especially challenging:

• Real-time deadlines that will cause system failure if not met; • Multi-rate operation • In many cases, low power consumption • Low manufacturing [...]
