An embedded system typically consists of a microcomputer (microcontroller or microprocessor) interfaced with sensors to collect data and actuators to perform physical actions. Unlike general-purpose computers, these systems are application-specific and often subject to strict performance, power, and real-time constraints. Classification of Systems
Designing an embedded system follows a systematic, top-down approach:
