About Embedded Systems
An
embedded system is a microprocessor-based computer hardware system with
software that is designed to perform a dedicated function, either as an
independent system or as a part of a large system. At the core is an
integrated circuit designed to carry out computation for real-time
operations.
Embedded systems are managed by microcontrollers or
digital signal processors (DSP), application-specific integrated
circuits (ASIC), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), GPU technology,
and gate arrays. These processing systems are integrated with components
dedicated to handling electric and/or mechanical interfacing.
Why is Embedded Systems important?
The importance of embedded systems is:
• They are small, fast, and powerful tools used in many gadgets and equipment that have become a part of our everyday lives.
•
To have a real-time application guarantee its performance (temporal as
well as functional performance) you need embedded systems
• To
achieve a given task set or functionalities with constrained resources,
we use embedded systems. (This is actually a quality of embedded
systems)
• Everyone, nowadays, wants a small phone/computer
which could do many things for them. Achieving this while keeping the
product cost low requires embedded systems.
