The document provides an overview of embedded system design, including application areas like automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. It discusses the embedded system development cycle and factors to consider when choosing a microcontroller, such as features, communication interfaces, on-chip peripherals, and vendor support. Microcontrollers are selected based on technical requirements as well as familiarity, price, and available development tools and kits.
5. The System has a Processor, Associated Peripherals, and Software for a Specific Purpose.
6. For example, in a Mobile Phone the Embedded Processor needs to Process Voice (to Send and Receive Speech Signals) as well as implement Communication Protocols.
