Embedded Systems: Components, Architecture, and Development

Components of Embedded Systems

An embedded system has three main components:

  • Hardware
  • Application software: This may perform a series of tasks or multiple tasks concurrently.
  • Real-Time Operating System (RTOS): Supervises the application software and provides a mechanism to let the processor run a process as per scheduling, following a plan to control latencies.

Processor
