An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system, which is completely encapsulated by the device it controls. An embedded system has specific requirements and performs pre-defined tasks, unlike a general-purpose personal computer.
Enablers:
- Invention of transistors
- Invention of micro processors
- Mobility
- Increasing processing power
- Need for more functionality
- Software delevopment tools
Inhibitors:
- The increasing complexity to develop chips
