`What is an Embedded OS? – Design Support
`
`Introduction
`
`An embedded operating system is an operating system for embedded computer systems. These operating systems are
`designed to be compact, efficient at resource usage, and reliable, forsaking many functions that standard desktop operating
`systems provide, and which may not be used by the specialised applications they run.
`
`The hardware running an embedded operating system is usually very limited in resources. Systems made for embedded
`hardware tend to be very specific, which means that due to the available resources (low if compared to non-embedded
`systems) these systems are created to cover specific tasks.
`
`What exactly is an Embedded Operating System?
`from Datasound Laboratories
`
`The difference
`
`An important difference between most embedded operating systems and their desktop counterparts is that the application,
`including the operating system, is usually ‘bundled’ together into a single executable image. Unlike a desktop operating system,
`the embedded operating system does not generally load and execute individual applications at the user’s request. It is
`designed for a single purpose, most commonly running a single ‘shell’ (launches straight into from boot, rather than to desktop)
`application.
`
`Everyday examples of embedded operating systems include ATMs and Satellite Navigation systems.

`There is a big difference between a standard and an embedded operating system.

`A standard operating system creates an environment where a user and the
`computer may interact with one another to perform a huge variety of tasks. An
`embedded system, however, will only perform one type of task, and it will often do
`it without any, or little, user intervention.
