Embedded software is computer software that is written to control the technical item. An embedded item is a combination of hardware and software that together form a part of a larger item. An example of an embedded item is a microprocessor that controls a car engine. An embedded item is designed to run on its own without human intervention, and may be required to respond to events in real time. Today, we find embedded items in almost all our electric household units, such as refrigerators, washing machines, and ovens.
