1.1 Introduction:Embedded Systems are inseparable part of our life. Whether we are

athome or office or on the move, we are always surrounded by embedded systems. Startingfrom home appliances like TV, washing

machine and systems like printer and elevator inworkplace to the automobiles and automatic traffic control system are all examples

of embedded systems. All kinds of magazines and journals regularly dish out details aboutlatest technologies, new devices; fast applications

which make us believe that our basicsurvival is controlled by these embedded products.Embedde d system is a combination of Hardware and

Software Design to meet aspecific need with performance in given time frame.Component in an embedded system are

as:HardwareInput & Output

Software

1.2 Characteristics of embedded products:1. They perform a single set of functions.2. Works in a time constrained environment.3.

Provide high performance and reliability.4. Mostly Embedded systems have low cost because they are mass

produced inmillions.
