Embedded Operating Systems

An embedded operating system (OS) is a type of OS that is used in embedded computing devices. The term 'embedded' refers to devices that are installed (that is, embedded) as built-in components of a wider system, in which they serve a special, functional purpose. Embedded OSs differ from other types of OSs by their optimized design. Form factors, price points and other parameters of embedded devices set constraints on the OS, for example, in terms of functionality, user interface, memory space and driver support. Consequently, the architectures of embedded OSs tend to be extensively optimized for single-purpose deployment, stripped out of anything that is considered unnecessary for their use. This does not mean that embedded OSs cannot be applied outside of embedded devices. For instance, it is common to see embedded real-time operating systems (RTOSs) being used to handle the baseband functionality in smartphones.
