Detailed explanation-1: -An embedded computer functions as part of a larger device or system, rather than being used as a standalone computer. Typically, an embedded computer performs a highly specific function. Applications for embedded PCs range from industrial automation and in-vehicle computing, to digital signage, robotics, and more.
Detailed explanation-2: -A microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit designed to govern a specific operation in an embedded system. A typical microcontroller includes a processor, memory and input/output (I/O) peripherals on a single chip.
Detailed explanation-3: -An embedded system is a combination of computer hardware and software designed for a specific function. Embedded systems may also function within a larger system. The systems can be programmable or have a fixed functionality.
Detailed explanation-4: -Embedded Systems (ES) is a platform that integrates multiple hardware and software components into IC technology for application-specific or application-to-application communication purposes. The overall design of an embedded system depends primarily on the programming part of the IC.
