Embedded Computers

This is one of the technologies that has grown so large that the edges are difficult to find these days.

Embedding basically is a system where computing is hidden in a device and acts as the control and the intelligence. The computer is embedded and usually cannot be changed from its function, although even this is fuzzy now.

Some examples of Devices that have Embedded Computers in them.

  • Smart Phones
  • Printers
  • Faxes
  • Vending Machines
  • Sewing machines
  • Eftpos machines
  • PABX or IP telphony
  • TVs
  • Almost everything
  • etc

 




 

Some examples of Embedded Computers.

  • Tiny PIC micros
  • Rabbit micros
  • ARM micros
  • Intel ATOM micros
  • Intel micros
  • AMD Micros

 

Some form factors of Embedded Computers.
