Real time
• A real time embedded system is defined as, a system which gives a required o/p in a particular time. These types of embedded
systems follow the time deadlines for completion of a task. Real time embedded systems are classified into two types such as
soft and hard real time systems.
Standalone
• Stand alone embedded systems do not require a host system like a computer, it works by itself. It takes the input from the input
ports either analog or digital and processes, calculates and converts the data and gives the resulting data through the connected
device-Which either controls, drives and displays the connected devices.
Mobile
• Mobile embedded systems are used in portable embedded devices like cell phones, mobiles, digital cameras, mp3 players and
personal digital assistants, etc. The basic limitation of these devices is the other resources and limitation of memory.
Network
• These types of embedded systems are related to a network to access the resources. The connected network can be LAN, WAN
or the internet. The connection can be any wired or wireless. This type of embedded system is the fastest growing area in
embedded system applications. The embedded web server is a type of system wherein all embedded devices are connected to a
web server and accessed and controlled by a web browser.
