: Components like temperature sensors for input and motors or LEDs for output.
Embedded systems are specialised computing systems that perform dedicated functions within larger mechanical or electrical systems. They combine custom hardware with tightly coupled software to operate efficiently under constraints like low power and real-time performance. 1. Core Hardware Components First Steps with Embedded Systems
: Standard methods like UART, SPI, and I2C for data exchange between chips. : Components like temperature sensors for input and
: Essential for interacting with the physical world, including: I/O Ports (GPIO) : For basic digital signals. First Steps with Embedded Systems
: Includes power sources, clock oscillators, and reset circuits. 2. Software & Programming Essentials
