Embedded Systems Architecture: High Impact Future You Should Know
Embedded systems architecture has surged over the last couple of decades.
That’s due to computer engineers having been assigned the challenging task of incorporating increasingly powerful computers into and onto increasingly smaller chassis and printed circuit boards (PCBs), mainly to satisfy a growing demand for more reliable, affordable, size-conscious, energy-efficient, and cost-effective computer systems.
Consequently, there has been a movement toward boundary-pushing size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) developments within the world of embedded systems.
Embedded systems architecture features small-form-factor computers that power specific tasks. They may function as standalone devices or as part of larger systems, hence the term "embedded," and are often used in applications with size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) constraints.
Embedded systems are a mix of software and hardware, and include:
Embedded systems architectures have a high impact on the overall industry defining the features of telecommunication equipment, consumer products, or cars, to name just a few industrial sectors where these systems have a significant impact.

There is a large variety of embedded systems architectures which differ considerably from general purpose computer architectures. However, despite their importance, these architectures are typically neglected by consumers as well as organizations.
An embedded system is defined as the integration of computer memory, processor, and input/output peripheral devices designed to perform a particular task in a given time.
Despite its low profile, the embedded system is a cornerstone of the electronics industry. Almost all the electronic appliances that we use are manufactured only with the help of embedded systems.
