You wake up early in the morning & switch off the alarm. You get up and move to microwaving something leftover from yesterdays lunch to satisfy your hunger. You ask Alexa to play your favorite song, snatch keys and go to a new work location with the help of GPS in a car.
What is common in each line of this passage?
But we are often not aware of what they mean and cant distinguish between the thin line that appears blurry to the confused mind.
Let us understand what each one of it is.
What are Embedded Systems?
Because of its combination of hardware and software, an embedded system is also known as an integrated system (also known as Firmware). It is made up of smart computing gadgets that are all around us. Smartphones, smart watches, smart home gadgets, medical equipment, security alarms, and IoT items are all examples of devices.
They will communicate with one another through the internet and operate without the need for human intervention. One truth is that, in the near future (2020-2021), developing technologies such as the Internet of Things will connect our globe to more than 50 billion gadgets (IoT).
Some examples of Embedded Systems:
” Digital Cameras
” MP3 players
” Video Game Consoles
What is IoT (Internet of Things)?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the concept of linking any gadget to the Internet and other connected devices. IoT is a large network of interconnected things & people that all collect and share data on how they are utilized and the world around them.
Devices and items with built-in sensors are connected to an Internet of Things platform, which combines data from various devices and applies analytics to share the most useful information with apps tailored to individual needs.
Some examples of IoT include:
” Home Security
” Smart Speakers
” Smart Lighting
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a broad concept that aims to connect a variety of devices. Embedded systems are a part of the larger Internet of Things (IoT) by combining two main components: IoT devices and IoT gateways. IoT devices are smaller and more specialized in nature, hence they will not run on an operating system. IoT gateways, on the other hand, are larger and more generic in design, and they will run on an operating system. These operating systems are available in a variety of flavors, including Embedded OS, IoT OS, and RTOS. Embedded programming becomes an element of IoT programming as a result of this.
