ii) Software: The application software is required to perform the series of tasks.
An embedded system has software designed to keep in view of three constraints:
Availability of System Memory
Availability of processor speed
The need to limit power dissipation when running the system continuously in
cycles of wait for events, run , stop and wake up.
iii) Real Time Operating System: (RTOS) It supervises the application software
and provides a mechanism to let the processor run a process as per scheduling and
do the switching from one process (task) to another process.
3. Difference between an ES and other systems.
Embedded System, as it appears from its name, is a part of a bigger system, a
computer restricted to one function (or a finite set of functions) that controls,
monitors or integrate with larger systems like automotive, robotics, home
appliances and military applications.
They have very tight constraints regarding size, performance, memory, price and
durability, also an embedded system is required in most cases to respond in real
time, you dont want your brakes to work after pressing the pedal by a couple of
seconds tho..
