There is no difference.
Embedded is just a term to describe a stand alone applicion like a washing machine or whatever, that has a c program embedded in it.
i am also newbie for Embedded C, but i think my friend btbass is wrong some where as per my knowledge.
uptill i know Embedded C is the combination of regular (Normal) C we are using and Assembly Language(ASM).
in Embedded C you can get some library file as header file (e.g. reg51.h, which will include all the port and register declaration with some more features)
by simply adding this file you are able to work with any port or any register of your 8051 MCU whatever you want.
this is the major one difference i have noticed.
this facility is not available in regular (Normal) C.
i have some ebooks but i think i can not upload here.
as the notic is given. ALL E-BOOKS HERE WILL BE DELETED!!! USERS WILL BE WARNED !!!
if you want please pm me.
i'll surely give you.
Embedded C and C are almost the same but, there are some data types in Embedded C for programming the controllers which u can't find in normal C. U can go through for 8051 microcontrollers by mazidi.
I dont agree with that statement about data types.
Please give an example.
Any type can be typedefined in C.
Embedded C is just C, nothing more, nothing less.
It is just targeted at a stand alone controller.
Well, the difference between Embedded C & C is that,with the help of Embedded C programming we can directly interfaced with our hardware like LCD,Keypad,relays etc.

hi Friends,

The word embedded should say it all. As btbass has already stated... embedded c is normal c but used for processors that are embedded into some or other device. Usually these device are not seen as computers like PC's etc. C intended for embedded systems will usually have libraries that are geared up for specific microcontrollers eg. 8051 or Pic. These libraries do not change the fact that it is still a c compiler. The c language is very small and most of the functionality in the compilers comes in the for of additional libraries. There are a few which are 'standard' and will be found in almost all c compilers eg stio.lib
Special compilers are available for special embedded processors. In that case, embedded C should be translated to proceesor dependent asm, which is also a special feature about embedded C.
