"Embedded" does only mean that the fact that there's a computer inside of "something" isn't visible from outside. It does neither mean what architecture you are using nor that you have restricted ressurce requirements. I've even embedded a 500 MHz PIII in measurement systems and you can also think of embedding a whole cluster. So if you think of systems with low memory and flash ressources C++ could be a problem - you need at least the C++ libraries to run the program (which can have several MBs on a normal Linux PC). > And in general - to what extent is it possible to write applications > for embedded systems? My understanding is that they are VERY > different... True! It completely depends on what application you have, what hardware, space, environment influences etc. > And what kernels are mainly used in ES's? 2.0.x, Yes, > 2.2.x, Yes, > 2.4.x?, Yes...
