Abstract
Embedded system is anything that uses a microprocessor but is not a general-purpose computer such as televisions, video games, refrigerators, cars, planes, elevators, remote controls, alarm systems, printers, and scanners. The end user sees a smart system as opposed to the computer inside the system, but he does not or cannot modify or upgrade the internals. Embedded systems usually consist of hardware and software. Embedded systems must be efficient in terms of energy, code-size, run-time, weight, and cost. An embedded system is any device controlled by instructions stored on a chip. These devices are usually controlled by a microprocessor that executes the instructions stored on a read-only memory (ROM) chip. The software for the embedded system is called firmware. Embedded systems are also known as real-time systems since they respond to an input or event and produce the result within a guaranteed time period [1].
