New to embedded systems, it is a beginner issue...

[siemprepeligroso]

I am new to embedded systems and I am yet to distinguish between Embedded Systems and other systems...

Theoretically I can make the difference, it is about being dedicated to perform a function or being a general-purpose ect ect

But I have difficulties to make the differences in practical basis, for example

what are 3 examples of typical embedded systems and what is the reason that make them embedded (the second part of the question is pretty muck understandable)

Thanks in advance folks

Embedded system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

mobile, micro wave oven, any system which is used by us.

Embedded system will have only 1 processor in it. its booting or start up time should be less.( compare PC and mobile)

well I am looking for something more typical ,the answers I got are pretty much general....

Here I am discussing about Embedded system where we are using C laguage program.
EmbeddedC is a C language extension that is the subject of a technical report by the ISO working group named "Extensions for the Programming Language C to Support Embedded Processors" . It aims to provide portability and access to common performance-increasing features of processors used in the domain of DSP and embedded processing. The Embedded C specification for fixed-point, named address spaces, and named registers gives the programmer direct access to features in the target processor, thereby significantly improving the performance of applications. The hardware I/O extension is a portability feature of Embedded C. Its goal is to allow easy porting of device-driver code between systems.

Ya take the example i gave you it involves much more than what you state. It involves embedded C with all the features. HW and SW portability etc. i still dont understand your requirement. these are not simple examples but involve lot of coding and hardware complexity

 

[siemprepeligroso]

my concerns are more about hardware field and not about software

The take examples of automotive electronics and medical devices or a Industrial plant where very critical parameters are monitored and handled
