Many of the applications mentioned here are called Embedded-Systems
They are complete, mainly to fulfill one single application e.g.:
- Mobile-Phone
- Hearing-Aid
- Automotive Control
- „intelligent“ Washing-Machine
- ...
They work like a Computer (PC), but they don´t look like:
- implementing Processor(s)
- have Memory for Program and Data (often very restricted)
- use LEDs / Display, Buttons / Keyboard for the user
- have optional Interfaces for Input and Output
- often battery-powered
They are produced in large quantities:
- Produced in thousands to millions
- ARM Processors have ~80% of the world market
