Lec2 Hardware in Embedded System Compatibility Mode

The document discusses embedded system hardware, including: 1. Embedded system architecture can have 2 or 3 layers, with the 2-layer version containing just applications and hardware, while the 3-layer version adds an operating system layer. 2. Hardware in embedded systems can be based on von Neumann or Harvard architecture and use general purpose microprocessors, microcontrollers, or application-specific integrated circuits. 3. Memory mapping allows the CPU to address both memory and input/output devices in an embedded system. Execution involves loading instructions from memory and performing I/O as required. 4. Examples of embedded systems include those for video/audio processing, mobile devices, portable media players, internet telephony, and
