Embedded systems are being installed in tremendous quantities (an order of magnitude more than desktop PCs!):they control lots of functions in modern cars;they show up in household appliances and toys;they control vital medical instrumentation;they make remote controls and GPS(Global Position Systems) work;they makeyour portable phones work;etc.. The simplest classification between different kinds of embedded operating systems is asfollows; 1.High-end embedded systems.These systems are often downsized derivatives of an existing general purpose OS,but with much of the”ballast”removed.Linux has given rise to a large set of such derivatives,because of its highly modular structure and the availability of source code.Examples are:routers,switches,personal digital assistants,set top boxes. 2.Deeply embedded OS.These Oses must be really very small,and need only a handful of basic fun
