An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints.It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today.mbedded systems range from no user interface at all, in systems dedicated only to one task, to complex graphical user interfaces that resemble modern computer desktop operating systems. Simple embedded devices use buttons, LEDs, graphic or character LCDs (HD44780 LCD for example) with a simple menu system.

An embedded operating system is the same thing but intended for an embedded device. It might possible to load an application created on a desktop OS on an embedded OS, depending on the application, the OS, the hardware, the development tools used and possibly other factors.
