These environments bring particular constraints and challenges to computation, and architectures designed for them are known as embedded systems. The vast majority of manufactured processors—about 98 percent of them—go to embedded systems. This is a huge market, with a value of around $250 billion in the early 2020s, so it’s worth your time to study these systems.
This chapter will give you the understanding of embedded systems needed to build your own robots, home automation hacks, electronic musical instruments, or art installations, ...
