What are the main differences between embedded systems and microcontrollers/microprocessors?
Can you explain to me the main differences between embedded systems and microcontrollers/microprocessors?
Certainly. Embedded systems are integrated systems designed to perform specific tasks or functions in a larger system. Microcontrollers and microprocessors are the computing components that make up these embedded systems. Microprocessors are general-purpose CPUs, while microcontrollers contain a CPU, memory, and input/output peripherals all on a single chip.
