Question

Difference between general purpose of computing and embedded system

Answer 1

Embedded System, as it appears from its name, is a part of a bigger system, a computer restricted to one function (or a finite set of functions) that controls, monitors or integrate with larger systems like automotive, robotics, home appliances and military applications.

General Computer System is a computer that is built to be customizable in software, like desktop PCs and laptops, you can make it do many thing, sometimes together, with low or no constraints on power, performance or cost, also a general computing system is contained in itself, it’s not a part of a larger system.. it is the system itself.
