Embedded software is dedicated software for controlling microcomputer. It is also called “Firmware”.
As well as a personal computer requires software, embedded software is essential for microcomputer.
What can we do with microcomputer?
Although equipment without microcomputer can only adjust simple output using a switch (ON/OFF) and variable resistance, microcomputer can make possible the complicated “control of equipments” such as rotation frequency of motors and output adjustment to match exterior environment.
Many familiar electric appliances are equipped with microcomputer for high efficiency and high function.
