Embedded systems are designed for general-purpose tasks. A microcontroller integrates the processor, memory, and I/O peripherals on a single chip. Embedded systems are always large in size and heavy in weight. The primary concern of embedded systems in harsh environments is to maintain performance in extreme conditions. Embedded systems often operate without interacting with any external devices. A washing machine is an example of a general-purpose computer. Real-time embedded systems are designed to handle events as they occur. Embedded systems are used exclusively in industrial applications. Power management is not a concern in the design of embedded systems. Microprocessors are used in embedded systems for real-time applications. Embedded systems can only function in specific environments, such as cold weather. Embedded systems typically require high power consumption and complex components. A networked embedded system operates independently without needing to communicate with other systems. Sensors and actuators are commonly used in embedded systems for input and output. Quality attributes in embedded system design must be addressed to ensure efficient development.
