Embedded software too is a highly specialized
area of software development and closely
linked with systems programming. Embedded
systems refers to ‘on-microprocessor’
programming written using machine level
instruction sets such as Assembly, Verilog,
VHDL etc. Software for embedded systems
needs to be able to work with very limited
resources (memory, power) and often has
to work in a real-time environment. Embedded
systems employ a combination of hardware
and software (a “computational engine”)
to perform a specific function. It is
typically part of a larger system that
may not necessarily be a ‘computer’
and works in a reactive and time-constrained
environment.
Embedded systems have wide ranging applications
such as consumer electronics (cameras,
cell phones), automobiles (anti-lock braking,
engine control), industrial process controllers
& avionics/defense applications, computers
and communication products (printers,
fax machines) and multimedia. CIL Technosoft
has significant expertise in developing
embedded applications for multimedia,
digital video and mass storage.
