Embedded board is generally understood to be embedded as a control, the CPU board is used in which data processing apparatus, the device is the "brain." Embedded into the apparatus, of course, we will have more stringent requirements for the volume of the motherboard and power (heat issues embedded board). Standard embedded system architecture has two systems, RISC processor and a CISC processor architecture.
Embedded motherboards divided into two categories more common:
1, based on the embedded X86 motherboard, Intel's X86 processor belongs to CISC architectures, (general use INTEL, AMD, VIA, or other middle class family of X86 chips, etc.) ;
2, RISC-based ARM embedded motherboards (ARM authorized by the company, each chip production house have their own special features). Embedded ARM boards are generally on-board CPU, while the x86 CPU-based motherboards may not. 
Embedded technology in recent years has been rapid development, but the field of embedded industry involves a wide range, features between them are quite obvious. For example, many industries: mobile phone, PDA, car navigation, industrial, military, multimedia terminals, gateways, digital television; and embedded motherboard main application environment in the financial, petrochemical, geophysical, field portable, environmental protection, military, electric power, railway, highway, aerospace and subways.
Embedded motherboard applications
medical instruments
embedded systems applications in medical instrumentation penetration rate is extremely high. In the design process, according to reprogram the need for embedded systems, to avoid front-end flow sheet (NRE) costs, and reduce quantities associated with ASIC and reduce the huge risk of multiple silicon iterations. In addition, with the development of the standard, or when there is change in demand, may also be updated in the field, and designers to re-use common hardware platform, in a basic design based on the establishment of different systems to support a variety of functions, thereby greatly reducing Cost of production. The product has a longer life cycle, can not be too fast to protect medical equipment obsolete, the medical industry product life cycle is longer, so this feature is very important. Modern digital medical equipment include not only medical equipment but also data storage servers and interface software. Embedded systems can provide advanced technical support for the equipment design, production and use of medical care.
Military defense
Military defense always been an important application field of embedded systems. In the 1970s, embedded computer systems used in weapon control system, later used for military command and control and communications systems. Currently, a variety of weapons control device (gun, ××× ××× guidance and intelligent control device to detonate, etc.), tanks, warships, bombers, armed variety of military electronic equipment, radar, electronic warfare equipment, military communications equipment, field directing operations with a variety of special equipment, etc., can be seen embedded systems figure.
Robot
With the popularization and development of embedded systems and robotics, the robot body functions become more and more modular, intelligent, miniaturized. Meanwhile, the price of robots has also dropped significantly, making it more widely used in military, industrial, household and medical fields. For more information visit www.femrice.com.cn
