Introduction to Embedded System
Abstract
The embedded systems industry was born with invention of microcontrollers and since then it has evolved into various forms, i.e. from primarily being designed for the machine control applications to various other new verticals with the convergence of communications. Various classes of the embedded systems such as home media systems, portable players, smart phones, embedded medical devices and sensors, automotive embedded systems have surrounded us and with continued convergence of the communications and computing functions within these devices, embedded systems are transforming themselves into the really complex systems, thus creating newer opportunities and challenges to develop and market more powerful, energy efficient processors, peripherals and other accessories.References (5)
