Application Prospects Of Embedded Computers

The embedded software industry has developed rapidly and has become an important part of the software system. Embedded system products are constantly penetrating various industries. As a special software form included in these hardware products, embedded software has been increasing its industry growth rate and its proportion in the entire software industry is increasing. In 2003, the global embedded software market reached 34.6 billion US dollars,
In 2003, the Chinese market reached 18.8 billion yuan. It is expected that by 2006, the embedded software market will exceed 40 billion yuan, and the average annual compound growth rate from 2003 to 2006 will reach 30%.
The huge demand for intelligent equipment in the new round of automobile, communication, information appliances, medical, military and other industries has driven the development of embedded software and systems. Unlike traditional general-purpose computer systems, embedded systems are oriented to specific application fields, customized and developed according to application requirements, and penetrated into all walks of life with the general demand for intelligent products. With the continuous innovation of hardware technology, the processing power of hardware platforms has been continuously enhanced, and the hardware cost has been continuously reduced. Embedded software has become a key and driving technology for the digital transformation and intelligent value-added of products.
SOC technology is a new milestone in the development of microelectronics technology and has become the development trend of today's ultra-large-scale ICs, providing the IC industry with an unprecedentedly broad market and rare development opportunities. The rapid development of the SOC industry has once again promoted the further integration and embedding of embedded software and hardware systems, with embedded software being its soul and core.
