What is Embedded Systeme?

An embedded system is a specialized computer system designed to perform a dedicated function, often with real-time computing constraints. It is typically embedded as part of a complete device including hardware and mechanical parts. Examples include systems controlling antilock braking in cars, managing traffic lights, or operating digital watches. They are used in various applications like automotive, industrial automation, consumer electronics, and medical devices, often requiring low power consumption, small size, and high reliability.
