An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints.It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today.mbedded systems range from no user interface at all, in systems dedicated only to one task, to complex graphical user interfaces that resemble modern computer desktop operating systems. Simple embedded devices use buttons, LEDs, graphic or character LCDs (HD44780 LCD for example) with a simple menu system.
An embedded system is a computer that has been built to solve only a few very specific problems and is not easily changed.In contrast, a general-purpose computer can do many different jobs, and can be changed at any time with new programs for new jobs.An embedded system usually does not look like a computer, often there is no keyboard or monitor or mouse. But like any computer it has a processor and software, input and output.The word embedded means it is built into the system.n contrast, a general-purpose computer can do many different jobs, and can be changed at any time with new programs for new jobs.
