Embedded System Training

Embedded systems are combination of hardware and software systems with a dedicated function within a mechanical or electrical system. It is either fixed in capability or is programmable to perform a special function. Programming interfaces are provided to Embedded Systems that are programmable.
The applications of embedded systems range from portable devices such as PDA and mobile phones to large industrial systems like factory controllers and traffic lights. It also deals with variety of other industrial installations like automobiles, medical equipments, cameras, household appliances, airplanes, vending machines, etc.
The ordinary microprocessors were made using peripheral interface circuits, but as the advancement took place the modern embedded systems were based on microcontrollers. 8051 is the basic microcontroller used and rests all the micro-controllers depend on it.
