5 Questions
Define an embedded system and list the three components that make up an embedded system.
An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions, sometimes with real-time computing constraints. The three components of an embedded system are hardware (processor, memory, I/O devices), software (RTOS, program codes), and mechanical components (body, chassis, motor, screws, bolts, washer, etc).
Give an example of an embedded system and list the hardware, software, and mechanical components that make up that system.
An example of an embedded system is a washing machine. The hardware components include buttons, display, buzzer, and electronic circuitry. The software component is a chip on the circuit that holds the software which drives, controls, and monitors the various operations. The mechanical components include the internals of the washing machine, water inlets and outlets, and the framework (body/chassis) itself.
What are the hardware components of an air conditioner?
