In the Embedded Systems Tutorials category of my website, you’ll find educational materials in form of “Tutorials”, that start at the very basic concepts to the advanced ones. You’ll be creating some exciting embedded projects using a variety of platforms. Just stick with me<\/strong>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, you still be able to skip over this introduction and directly jump to the end of this post to Get Started<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. But I strongly recommend that you give it a shot as it will definitely answer the most of your probable questions and make everything crystal clear. If it’s your first time here, it’s not recommended to skip over this post.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I still remember that day when I got a couple of LEDs flashing because I told them to. Well, I was really hooked! Sooner I realized that this thing is meant to be for me. I love writing software that interacts with hardware. All I can say that it makes you feel so powerful, you can almost control anything you want to. In this way, I can touch the world, do changes and make a difference. I can touch people’s lives, minds, and hearts. The reason for which I love this profession.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0What Are Embedded Systems?\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

There exist so many definitions for what an embedded system really is. But I do believe that<\/span><\/p>\n

[click_to_tweet tweet=”An Embedded System is a computerized system that has a computer built-in, without being the final product a real computer!” quote=”An Embedded System is a computerized system that has a computer built-in, without being the final product a real computer!” theme=”style2″]<\/p>\n

Which means that any device that has any computing machine embedded within is said to be an “Embedded System”. However<\/strong>, an embedded system can be a very simple piece of electronic circuitry that performs a specific function within a larger system. Despite the fact that this kind of systems may not seem very embedded to many people. But in fact, it does!<\/span><\/p>\n

The definition is so broad to include all of the following devices<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Heaters<\/span><\/td>\nAir Conditioners<\/span><\/td>\nMicrowaves<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Smart Phones<\/span><\/td>\nDigital Alarms<\/span><\/td>\nRouters<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Toys<\/span><\/td>\nWearable gadgets<\/span><\/td>\nSmart Locks<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Rockets<\/span><\/td>\nAvionics<\/span><\/td>\nRobotics<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
And much more…<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Even the computer peripherals are actually examples of embedded systems applications. Such as mouse, keyboard, monitor, webcam, scanner, joysticks, printer, speaker system, etc. Every single piece is a standalone embedded device that communicates with the main CPU via (Serial\/Parallel) Buses.<\/span><\/p>\n
