What is an Embedded System? The definition itself says it all; embedded systems are computers that are part of something else. The ‘something else’ could be a TV, a washing machine, a refrigerator, a mobile phone, a microwave oven or even an aircraft. Embedded systems are found in all sorts of devices. They are present in the computers that run factories, traffic lights and in the automated teller machines (ATMs) that you use to withdraw cash. Embedded systems are also used in medical equipment such as MRI scanners and patient monitoring devices. In fact, you can find them virtually everywhere these days. we discussed what an embedded system is and how it is different from a general-purpose computer. In this chapter, we will discuss the most popular types of embedded systems.  The most common types of embedded system are: Real-Time Embedded Systems An embedded system used for real-time applications is known as a real-time embedded system. A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an o...

  Embedded Systems are electronic devices that perform one or more dedicated functions within the context of an electrical system. Embedded systems typically do not interact with humans and may be part of a larger system, like a car or computer, in which case they can be referred to as embedded software. For example, automotive systems are electronic components and subsystems that operate automotive vehicles. They usually perform one or more dedicated functions. Still, They can also support the primary function of driving the vehicle itself, and they interact with humans through displays, controls, and other features.   How to start off Becoming an Embedded System Engineer Electronics engineers generally fall into two categories: hardware and software. Hardware engineers are responsible for designing components that turn electricity into usable signals like radios, televisions, cell phones, GPS systems and computer processors. Software engineers work on programs that au...
