What is an embedded system? What are the parts?

Embedded system consists of hardware and software. It is a device that can run independently. Its software content only includes software operating environment and its operating system. Hardware content includes signal processor, memory, communication module, etc.

Compared with general computer processing systems, embedded systems are quite different. It can't realize mass storage function because there is no matching mass media. Most of the storage media used are E-PROM, EEPROM, etc. The software part takes API programming interface as the core of the development platform.

Features of embedded system:

1, with strong specificity. Because embedded systems are usually application-oriented, the hardware and software of embedded systems, especially the software, are designed for specific user groups and usually have some special characteristics.

2. Miniaturization. The embedded computer integrates many tasks completed by the board card in the general computer system into the chip, which is beneficial to miniaturization and easy to embed the embedded system into the target system.
