Embedded Systems Quiz

Embedded system = A computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electronic system Microcontroller = A type of microprocessor with integrated memory and peripheral interfaces Digital signal processor (DSP) = A common standard class of dedicated processors General-purpose microprocessor = Microprocessors using external chips for memory and peripheral interface circuits

Embedded system often has real-time computing constraints = Controls physical operations of the machine it is embedded within Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers = Can be optimized to reduce the size and cost of the product Some embedded systems are mass-produced = Benefit from economies of scale An ordinary microprocessor uses external chips for memory and peripheral interface circuits = Common, especially in more complex systems

Python = General-purpose programming JavaScript = Client-side scripting for web applications SQL = Database queries CSS = Styling web pages

Embedded system = Often controls many devices in common use Microcontroller = Has integrated memory and peripheral interfaces Digital signal processor (DSP) = Specialized in a certain class of computations General-purpose microprocessor = Can be types ranging from general purpose to custom designed for the application at hand

Embedded system = Dedicated to specific tasks and can be optimized to increase reliability and performance Microcontroller = Based on microprocessors with integrated memory and peripheral interfaces Digital signal processor (DSP) = Can be types ranging from general purpose to custom designed for the application at hand General-purpose microprocessor = Uses external chips for memory and peripheral interface circuits
