Want to learn how C is used in practical Embedded remainder of this preface attempts to answer some questions which prospec-tive readers may have about the What is an Embedded system?As far as this book is concerned:This type of Embedded system is all around us. Use of Embedded processors in pas-senger cars, mobile phones, medical equipment, aerospace systems and defencesystems is widespread, and even everyday domestic appliances such as dishwash-ers, televisions, washing machines and video recorders now include at least onesuch What type of processor is discussed?
