  2. Embedded system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system

    Embedded systems are designed to perform a specific task, in contrast with general-purpose computers designed for multiple tasks. Some have real-time performance constraints that must be met, for reasons such as safety and usability; others may have low or no performance requirements, allowing the system hardware to be simplified to reduce costs.

  3. Embedded operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_operating_system

    An embedded system on a plug-in card, featuring a processor, memory, power supply, and various external interfaces. An Embedded Operating System (EOS) is an operating system designed specifically for embedded computer systems. These systems aim to enhance functionality and reliability to perform dedicated tasks.

  4. Embedded software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_software

    Embedded software is computer software, written to control machines or devices that are not typically thought of as computers, commonly known as embedded systems. It is typically specialized for the particular hardware that it runs on and has time and memory constraints. [1] This term is sometimes used interchangeably with firmware. [2]

  5. Embedded controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_controller

    SCI from the Embedded Controller to inform the ACPI driver (in the OS) of an ACPI Event; As a core system component, the embedded controller is always on when power is supplied to the mainboard. To communicate with the main computer system, several forms of communication can be used, including ACPI, SMBus, or shared memory.

  6. Classes of computers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classes_of_computers

    Embedded computers are typically required to operate continuously without being reset or rebooted, and once employed in their task the software usually cannot be modified. An automobile may contain a number of embedded computers; however, a washing machine or DVD player would contain only one microcontroller. Embedded computers are chosen to ...

    But tech companies have been working to build AI tools that are better at longer-range planning and reasoning so they can access the web or control computers and perform tasks on their own on a ...

  8. Microcontroller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcontroller

    The majority of microcontrollers in use today are embedded in other machinery, such as automobiles, telephones, appliances, and peripherals for computer systems. While some embedded systems are very sophisticated, many have minimal requirements for memory and program length, with no operating system , and low software complexity.

  9. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_(computing)

    Processes are often called "tasks" in embedded operating systems. The sense of "process" (or task) is "something that takes up time", as opposed to "memory", which is "something that takes up space". [b] The above description applies to both processes managed by an operating system, and processes as defined by process calculi.
