We can broadly define an embedded system as a microcontroller-based, software-driven, repable, real-time control system, designed to perform a specific task. It can be thought of as a computer hardware system having software embedded in it. An embedded system can be either an independent system or a part of a large system. In this tutorial, we will explain all the steps necessary to design an embedded system and use it.
