 Embedded system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Embedded systems often have no operating system, or a specialized embedded operating system (often a real-time operating system), or the programmer is assigned to port one of these to the new system.
A common configuration for very-high-volume embedded systems is the system on a chip, an application-specific integrated circuit, for which the CPU was purchased as intellectual property to add to the IC's design.
In addition, the embedded system may be outside the reach of humans (down an oil well borehole, launched into outer space, etc.), so the embedded system must be able to restart itself even if catastrophic data corruption has taken place.

 Embedded System Design Issues (the Rest of the Story)
Embedded systems in many cases must be optimized for life-cycle and business-driven factors rather than for maximum computing throughput.
Because of the long life of many embedded systems, upgrades to electronic components and software may be used to update functionality and extend the life of the embedded system with respect to competing with replacement equipment.
In embedded systems the combination of the external interfaces (sensors, actuators) and the control or sequencing algorithms is or primary importance.

 Embedded operating system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An embedded operating system is an operating system for embedded systems.
These operating systems are designed to be very compact and efficient, forsaking many functionalities that non-embedded computer operating systems provide and which may not be used by the specialized applications they run.

 Challenges in Embedded Database System Administration
As an embedded system is most often dedicated to a single application or small set of tasks, the operating conditions of the system are typically better understood than those of general purpose computing environments.
As embedded systems define a specific environment and set of tasks, requiring expertise during the initial system configuration process is acceptable, and we focus our efforts on the ongoing maintenance of the system.
As embedded systems typically perform fairly simple queries, such metrics are not nearly as relevant for embedded database systems as are ease of maintenance, robustness, and small footprint.
