A computer hardware and software combination created for a particular purpose

is an embedded system. Additionally,
embedded systems may operate as
part of a bigger system. The systems
may be programmable or may only
perform certain functions. An
embedded system may be found in
industrial machinery, consumer
electronics, agricultural and processing
sector equipment, vehicles, medical
devices, cameras, digital watches,
home appliances, aircraft, vending
machines, toys, and mobile devices.
An embedded system is a kind of computer
(electronic or hardware) system that has
software code within its hardware and is
created to carry out a specific purpose or function, sometimes under real-time
computing limitations. Depending on the application, embedded systems might be
programmable or non-programmable. The electrical chip found in consumer
electronics goods is one illustration.

2. INTRODUCTION: An embedded system can be thought of as a computer

hardware system having software embedded in it. An embedded system can be
an independent system or it can be a part of a large system. An embedded
system is a microcontroller or microprocessor-based system which is designed to
perform a specific task.

System application-specific circuits.
Of that can When a system is required to do its task and provide its service promptly, it
is said to be real-time. The application software is managed by real-time operating
systems, which also provide a framework to enable processor operation. The hardware
resources of a computer and the host programs that run on it are managed by the Real
Time operating system.

An RTOS is specifically created to operate programs with a high level of dependability

and extremely accurate timing. This is crucial, especially in measurement and industrial
automation systems where downtime is expensive or when a delay in a program might
endanger safety.
A digital signal processor is a type of processor and a crucial component of embedded
systems. The DSP applications include systems for processing audio, video,
multimedia, images, DSP modems, HDTV, and communications. Additionally, systems
for identifying DNA sequences and picture patterns employ these CPUs. The table lists
the various DSP streams used in embedded systems.
