Embedded software is software or specialized programming on-chip integrated into hardware. This programming module comes as part of a microchip or as an application on the chip to control device functions.Hardware developers use embedded solutions to have better control over the devices and their functioning. To make it clearer, let’s take PC applications as an example.
Computer applications, in general, are designed to be installed and run over a variety of computer systems. These applications offer different levels of functions as per requirement. On the other hand, embedded software is developed for particular devices and has fixed hardware requirements or functional capabilities.
