Introduction to Industrial Embedded Computers

In layman's terms, embedded technology is dedicated computer technology. The word "dedicated" means that it is targeted at a specific application, such as network, communication, audio, video, industrial control, etc. From an academic perspective, embedded systems are application-centric, based on computer technology, and the software and hardware can be tailored. They are suitable for application systems that have strict requirements on functions, reliability, cost, volume, and power consumption. They are generally composed of four parts: embedded microprocessors, peripheral hardware devices, embedded operating systems, and user applications.
