The real problem here is that embedded is a too broad term most of the time as it defines a specific way of using a computer, not its capabilities, size or power constraints, etc. You can put a desktop tower into a vending machine and still call it embedded (and if its a big machine it may actually be an OK solution).
- learc83 9y agoI chose embedded systems as my specialization during my CS degree. We spent a week in one class just trying to define what exactly an embedded computer is. Your definition is pretty much what we came up with--they're defined in terms of use. But at the end of the day it's one of those "I know it when I see it" things.
