What is an embedded system?

An embedded system is defined as computer system or computing device that performs a dedicated or fixed function, or that is designed for use with a specific embedded software application. Embedded systems may  use a ROM-based operating system or a disk-based system, like a PC. But an embedded system may not be used as a commercially viable substitute for multipurpose computers or devices.

Planning an embedded development project starts with an important business decision -  evaluating and selecting the right operating system for your device.
