Apart from hand-held computer or PDAs embedded system software is also equipped in other portable devices including MP3 players, large stationary installations like traffic lights or factory controllers. In other words, now embedded system software is being used in various devices and that too commonly. If we delve into the history of embedded system software you will come to know that it was in 1960 when computers got the ability to not only analyze and process data but also started making decisions at very high speeds.
