Embedded Operating Systems and Linux

What is an Embedded OS

  • An "embedded system" is any computer system or computing device that performs a dedicated function or is designed for use with a specific embedded software application.
  • Embedded systems may use a ROM-based operating system or they may use a disk-based system, like a PC. But an embedded system is not usable as a commercially viable substitute for general purpose computers or devices.
