Course Description
Almost all Electronics, Electrical and Mechanical systems are now controlled by controllers which are embedded as part of the complete system. Such a system is an Embedded System. Some examples of such a system are tele-communication systems, transportation systems, chemical-processing plants such as aircrafts and automobiles, home appliances, and bio-medical instruments such as microwave ovens and washing machines. Embedded Systems are typically designed to perform certain specific tasks, often in real time, and satisfying certain performance requirements. This is achieved through the controllers and software called firmware, which are stored in the Read Only Memory of the controller.
