Embedded systems perform complex regulation, control or data processing tasks in technical systems. They therefore represent an important value-added potential for products in telecommunications, production control, transport and electronic consumer goods.

The functionality of embedded systems is realised through the integration of processors, special hardware and software. The problem of designing such systems arises from the heterogeneity of the system architecture, the complexity of the task and the need to fulfil a wide range of technical and economic requirements. This lecture is based on the content of the Embedded Systems I lecture and expands on it.
