Embedded Systems Flashcards
What are embedded systems?
Embedded systems are computer systems embedded in various devices such as smartphones, appliances and automotive systems, to control specific functions.
Explain the role of microcontrollers in embedded systems.
Microcontrollers are integrated circuits that serve as the brain of embedded systems controlling the device’s functions and interacting with external components.
How does real-time operating system (RTOS) work in embedded systems?
RTOS in embedded systems ensures timely execution of tasks making it suitable for applications with strict timing requirements such as automotive control systems.
What is the Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of embedded systems?
IoT involves connecting embedded systems to the internet allowing them to communicate with each other and share data to enhance functionality and enable smart applications.
