What exactly is embedded software? [Copy link]

Embedded software is a special software designed based on embedded system and developed according to application requirements. It is industry-oriented, market-oriented, and industry-specific. Different embedded software has its own unique application scenarios and practical value, and there are certain differences from ordinary general-purpose software.

Features of embedded software↓:

• Unique features

• Stable and reliable operation

• Easy to cut

• High program execution efficiency and small code size

The classification of embedded software can be roughly divided into two categories↓:

• system software

  In system software, there is usually an embedded operating system responsible for the management, scheduling and resource allocation of the overall embedded device, and there is also an embedded driver for the operation control of the embedded device. The main function of system software is to provide better functional service support for embedded applications.

• application

  In application software, it is usually an embedded upper-level application program, such as the control panel of home appliances, which is software that implements functional control. The main function of application software is to complete the interaction between embedded devices and users. Application software defines the main functions and usage methods of embedded devices.

An embedded software development process reference↓:

• Functional requirements analysis of software

• Software Design

• Software Coding

• Software Testing

• Software deployment and maintenance

This is really hard to define, as it ranges from simple control performed by a single-chip microcomputer to the control of aircraft, lunar landers, rockets, missiles, etc.
