An embedded system is a combination of computer hardware and software designed for a specific function. They integrate hardware and mechanical elements and are essential for various daily-use devices
Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)
Designed for real-time applications that process data without significant delays
Critical for time-sensitive applications like flight navigation and medical equipment
Risks and Vulnerabilities in Embedded Systems
Hardware Failure — Prone to failure in harsh environments
Software Bugs — Can cause system malfunctions and safety risks
Security Vulnerabilities — Vulnerable to cyber-attacks and unauthorized access
Outdated Systems — Aging software and hardware can be more susceptible to attacks
