Introduction to Embedded Systems

This Blog has been created to give some basic introduction to Embedded Systems. Today I want to start with the definition of an Embedded system. Embedded system is a specialized computer system that is part of a larger system or machine. Typically, an embedded system is housed on a single Micro Processor or Micro Controller board with the Applications and drivers code stored in ROM.

But now a days this definition does not hold good, as even a small or portable systems are used for housing many applications and can be used for performing many tasks. That’s the reason a normal PC can be considered as an Embedded System now, even though it performs so many functions instead of a dedicated function.
