What is embedded and what does embedded system mean?

Simply put, embedded system is opposite to general computer system. Two camps

Axis: (Wintel)

Personal computers, one for each person. As the saying goes, "whatever you do is good, whatever you do is not refined"-GM.

Allied forces: (ARM+Linux other hardware camp)

And embedded is an application whose function, power consumption, cost, specifications and so on are subordinate to him. "I am a professional, and your baby (PC) can't." -Dedication.

Ancestor: It is worth mentioning that the term' single chip microcomputer' is actually the embryonic form of embedded system, that is, there is no such complex system as task scheduling of operating system. This is the most famous 805 1, and it still exists.

Embedded systems can be seen everywhere, such as smart phones, PDA handheld devices, routers, military industry, medical care and so on.

It can be predicted that the future electronic world will be embedded and pervasive. At present, the PC field has been swept away, such as: the challenge of ARM giants to PC professionals such as Intel, and the PK of Linux to Microsoft giants in the software field. These are all trends. Wait and see.

The mobile phones we often use are becoming more and more intelligent. In a few years, your mobile phone will be more NB than your notebook, and it may not be called a mobile phone.
