A combination of computer hardware and software, and perhaps additional mechanical or other parts, designed to perform a dedicated function. In some cases, embedded systems are part of a larger system or product, as in the case of an antilock braking system in a car. Contrast with general-purpose computer.

Any electronic system that uses a CPU chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, Such systems generally use microprocessors, or they may use custom-designed chips or both. They are used in automobiles, planes, trains, space vehicles, machine tools, cameras, consumer and office appliances, cellphones, PDAs and other handhelds as well as robots and toys. The uses are endless, and billions of microprocessors are shipped every year for a myriad of applications. Although there are embedded versions of popular operating systems, low-cost consumer products can use chips that cost less than a dollar and have very limited storage for instructions. In such cases, the OS and application may be combined into one program.

an embedded system is a software and a hardware system which contains all the controls embedded on one system. it controls all the functions of the entire component systems.

e.g. a aircraft control system, missile launching.

in these type of systems, there is some time constraints and if there is failure of one component, the entire system fails.

In simple terms:
Embedded system is an electronic system which is embedded together of different subsystems and forms a single unit. (Generally performs a specific function)

Ex: DG camera (consists of lens system, memmory, io peripherals, digital prossesor, compressor etc. together forms as camera).
