#Embedded #computers are everywhere. They are in phones, microwaves, airplanes, automobiles, calculators… The list goes on and on. An embedded computer, which is an integral component of most embedded systems, is a combination of hardware and software that is designated to perform a highly specific function. For example, the type of embedded computer in a washing machine will not be the same as the embedded computer in a Nikon camera. Because the software in embedded computers is designed to only execute certain tasks, the computer’s software in one device can be totally distinct from that of another. The #hardware of an embedded computer is also specially #designed to withstand stresses in its intended environment. For instance, an embedded computer #installed under the hood of a car is designed to withstand high temperatures.
So how do embedded computers work?
