Embeded System • Wikipedia : • An embedded system is a computer system designed to
perform one or a few dedicated functions often with realtime computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. • Embedded systems are controlled by a main processing core that is typically either a microcontroller or a digital signal processor (DSP).
