Embedded software system refers to the software that runs in the embedded system and is an important part of the embedded system. It usually includes three categories: system software, application software and supporting software, where the system software controls and manages embedded system resources and provides various software to support embedded applications, such as device drivers, embedded operating systems, embedded middleware, etc.; Application software is the upper-layer software in an embedded system, which defines the main functions and uses of the embedded device and is responsible for interacting with the user; The supporting software includes some auxiliary software, such as debugging tools, testing tools, etc.
Embedded software systems are characterized by real-time, stability, reliability, low power consumption, miniaturization, low cost, etc., which make embedded software play a vital role in embedded systems.
With the continuous development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and 5G, the application scenarios of embedded software systems will become more and more extensive, such as smart home, intelligent transportation, industrial Internet, medical health, wearable devices, smart agriculture and other fields. At the same time, the research and development of embedded software systems also needs to be closely related to hardware design to ensure the overall performance and stability of the system.
Embedded software system is the core component of embedded system, and in the future, its development will continue to promote the application and development of embedded system in various fields.
