- 3. What is anembedded system? EMBEDDED SYSTEM = SOFTWARE + HARDWARE ī§ An embedded system is one that has computer hardware and software embedded in it as one of its components. ī§ It can also be defined as the microprocessor based system that does not look like a computer.
- 4. History First modern embeddedsystem was the Apollo Guidance computer developed â by Charles Stark Draper at the MIT instrumentation Laboratory. An early mass produced embedded system was the Autonetics D-17 guidance computer for the minuteman missile released in 1961. Since these early applications in 1960âs embedded systems have come down in price and there has been a dramatic rise in processing power and functionality. MINUTEMAN DISK D-17
- 5. What is insidethe embedded system Every embedded system consists of custom built hardware built around a Central Processing Unit (CPU). This memory hardware also contains memory chips onto which the software is loaded. The software residing on the memory chip is also called the âFirmwareâ.

- 15. MOBILE DEVICES The limitationsof the Mobile devices â memory Constraints , small size, lack of Good user interfaces such as full Fledged keyboard and display. Above limitations same as embedded systems. Hence mobile Phones are called embedded Systems. PDA MOBILE SMART PHONE
- 16. Languages for ProgrammingEmbedded systems âĸ Assembly language used for programming recently. âĸ New languages developed for programming like Ada, Forth, Java. âĸ Majority of software â C language used. âĸ Recent survey â 45% still use C language. âĸ C is very close to assembly programming and allows easy access to underlying hardware. âĸ C++ is also increasing presence in the systems which is based on C language.
- 17. Advantages ī§ Design andefficiency ī§ Compact devices ī§ Cost effective ī§ Maintenance ī§ Redundancies
- 18. Disadvantages ī§ Embedded Systemsdo a very specific task ī§ Have limited resources. ī§ They donât have secondary storage device. ī§ Need designers, debuggers, compilers.

- 22. Conclusion Finally we cansay that embedded systems are those electronic devices that incorporate a computer (usually a microprocessor or microcontroller) within their implementation. A computer is used in such devices primarily as a means to simplify the system design and to provide flexibility.
