EMBEDDED SYSTEM

 

An Embedded system is an application that contains at least one programmable device such as microcontroller, microprocessor or digital signal processor device which is used by other devices in the system.

Choice of the programming  language for embedded system                                                        

The language that we are going to use for programming the
embedded system  should be efficient, high level  , gives low
level access  to hardware,less code size. Against all the features
C is good for use in embedded system.

The main features of C language are:

1.    It is a ‘ mid  level ’ language with ‘ high level’  features such ass functions , and ‘low level’ features .

2.    It is efficient and popular .

3.    Compilers are available for every processor .

4.    It is well understood.

5.    We can use C code for other MC’s with little or no modification.

6. The size of the code is less than as compared to other high level languages.
