Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of embedded computing systems, specifically exploring the definitions and distinctions between embedded systems and embedded computing systems. Participants also touch on the design process of embedded systems and the differences between embedded software and embedded programs.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses confusion regarding the meaning of embedded computing system design and questions whether embedded systems and embedded computing systems are the same or different.
  • Another participant suggests that the original poster should conduct their own research before asking questions, implying that information is readily available online.
  • A participant seeks confirmation on whether embedded systems and embedded computing systems are the same, indicating uncertainty about the terminology.
  • Further discussion includes a participant's belief that embedded software and embedded programs are different, with an explanation that software is developed to create programs, which consist of instructions for specific tasks.
  • There is mention of programming languages used for embedded programs, such as C and assembly, and the process of converting source code into binary code.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the definitions of embedded systems and embedded computing systems, as well as the distinctions between embedded software and embedded programs. Multiple competing views and uncertainties remain throughout the discussion.

Contextual Notes

Participants express varying levels of understanding and research effort regarding the topic, with some emphasizing the importance of independent research before seeking clarification.

I don't understand what is meaning of embedded computing system design
embedded system is combination of hardware and software that perform some specific task
does embedded system and embedded computing system is different things ?
Q what is embedded system design process ?

hi vead

did you bother to google your question ?

I got 100's of hits when I did, go have a look for yourself :smile:

I just want to confirm both embedded system and embedded computing system are same are different
 
and did you do some research to see if they were ?
what did you find ?

Vead,
as you have been told several times on the other forum, you really need to start learning to do research on your own.
If you find something in your research you don't understand THEN ask a relevant question and post the link to that information so we all can see what you don't understand

We are not here to spoon feed you the answers, OK :smile:

When I was at university, google etc didn't exist. I used to spend hours and hours in the science library doing research on topics I wanted to learn about for my studies.

These day's all you need to do is type a few words into google, it really is quite easy :smile:

regards
Dave

sorry but I am not asking whole question what is embedded system I think both are same but I want to confirm that I am correct

I have another doubt
both embedded software and embedded program are different
I think both are different
software - we need to develop embedded program
embedded program - sequence of instruction written to perform specific task
embedded program written in language like c assembly
program has executable form
source code may be converted into binary code by compiler
