    Embedded systems are computer systems that perform dedicated functions within larger mechanical or electronic systems. They have limited resources like memory but must operate under strict time and power constraints. Examples of embedded systems include antilock braking systems in cars, kitchen appliances, and web cameras that stream video over the internet in real-time. Due to their low cost, compact size, and simple designs, embedded systems have become ubiquitous in modern technology.

    Synopsis:

     What is an Embedded Systems


     Significance
     Features of an Embedded System
     Few Examples
     An embedded system is one that has
    computer hardware with software embedded
    in it as one of its components.
     We can say that it is “A combination of
    computer hardware and software,and perhaps
    additional mechanical or other parts,designed
    to perform a dedicated function.In some
    cases,embedded systems are part of a larger
    system or product,as is the case of an
    antilock braking system in a car”.
    Due to their compact size, low cost and simple
    design aspects made embedded systems very
    popular and encroached into human lives and
    have become indispensable. They are found
    everywhere from kitchen ware to space craft. To
    emphasize this idea here are some illustrations.
     Embedded systems have very limited resources, particularly
    the memory. Generally, they do not have secondary storage
    devices such as the CDROM or the floppy disk.
     Embedded systems have to work against some deadlines. A
    specific job has to be completed within a specific time. In
    some embedded systems, called as real-time systems, the
    deadlines are stringent. Missing a deadline may cause a
    catastrophe-loss of life or damage to property.
     Embedded systems are constrained for power. As many
    embedded systems operate through a battery, the power
    consumption has to be very low.
     Embedded systems need to be highly reliable. Some
    embedded systems have to operate in extreme environmental
    conditions such as very high temperatures and humidity.
     Embedded systems that address the consumer market(for
    example electronic toys) are very cost-effective. Even a
    reduction of Rs.10 is a lot of cost saving, because of
    thousands or millions systems may be sold.
     Unlike desktop computers in which the hardware platform is
    dominated by intel and the operating system is dominated by
    Microsoft, there is a wide variety of processors and operating
    systems for the embedded systems. So, choosing the right
    platform is the most complex task.
     A networked process control system consists of a number of
    embedded systems connected as a local area network. Each
    embedded system can send real-time data to a central
    location from where the entire process control system can be
    monitored. The monitoring can be done using a web browser
    such as the Internet Explorer.
     A web camera can be connected to the Internet. The web
    camera can send pictures in real-time to any computer
    connected to the Internet. In such a case, the web camera has
    to run to the HTTP server software in addition to the TCP/IP
    protocol stack.
