mbedded System: Smarts For Devices and Systems

What is an embedded system?

Embedded systems are stand alone computing devices or centers usually dedicated to performing limited computing functions reliably, securely and with minimum  costs.   

main component in embedded system is Micrcontroller IC.

You find embedded systems(Micrcontroller) or embedded computer systems all around us.  Some are low cost and mass produced such as DVD player ,

medical instrument-ultrasound machine, aerospace-communication satellite, factory automation-industrial boilers.

What are top 5 reasons one would choose an embedded system(Micrcontroller) over a PC?

1. Security (hacker proof)
2. Reliability (work without failure for years)
3. Environment (broad temperature range, sealed from chemicals, radiation)
4. Efficient Interaction with user (fewer buttons, touch) 
5. Integrate with design

Pic Micrcontroller is easier in programing more other type of micrcontrollers.
so i advice you that use pic Micrcontroller for your project and mikroc program .

What are some features expected in future embedded systems?

• Energy harvesting or energy scavenging as replacement for power system.
• Smaller footprint to allow coupling to the device itself. 
• Fault detection/self correcting algorithms along with backup processors are expected to become common in future.
