Embedded almost always static allocates is outdated, like integer is almost always faster than floating point.
Some embedded nowadays has hundreds of megs of RAM, with its application using mmap, out of an overcommitted virtual memory.
- bsder 2y agoI would argue that if you have an MMU, you aren't really "embedded" anymore. An RPi isn't "embedded". However, you may still be doing systems programming.
- kazinator 2y agoEmbedded means that something that is not itself computer contains one, running some dedicated control application. If a Raspberry Pi is built into a toaster, where it controls the temperature and toasting duration according to the user-selected selected darkness level, it's embedded. If the toaster has a screen, and you can install and uninstall apps on the Pi, then it doesn't look so embedded any more.
