A basic introduction to embedded computers

The integration of embedded computers is very high, integrating motherboards, CPUs, memory, and even hard disks on a single board computer, even if it is an embedded system, there are many levels of CPU alone. Such as: ARM, XSCALE, etc. in RISC architecture, P3, P2, Pentium, 586, 486, 386, etc. in X86 architecture. Among them, there are two categories: low power consumption and conventional! Relatively speaking, low-power CPU products are more expensive and can work fanless. These indicators are chosen based on the actual application of the product. At the same time, the embedded board of the X86 architecture can basically be equivalent to the application of ordinary computers, relatively speaking, the product control part of ARM is more complex than the X86 architecture product. It's a little different from your usual computers. The matching of the installable system also needs to be matched according to the situation! Some commonly used Windows OS can run! Such as: 98, 2000, NT, etc. But it depends on the CPU level! IN ADDITION, THERE ARE SOME EMBEDDED OS, SUCH AS: WIN CE, WIN XPE, LINUX, ETC.
