An Embedded system is a computer system that is designed to perform a specific task within a larger mechanical or electronic system. Such systems are used in a wide variety of applications, including industrial automation, medical devices, and automobiles.
Typically, an embedded system contains one or more processors and memory and may include peripheral input/output (I/O) devices such as a keyboard, display, printer, or modem. The I/O devices are typically connected to the processor via a bus or communication channel.
