Can someone define the term "embedded" in this context? I had always assumed that "embedded" meant that the OS was written onto non-removable read-only storage. But I'm realizing that I don't actually know what the definition is.
Embedded is any low resource, cost-efficient computer system designed with a specific class of tasks in mind, as opposed to general computing devices like mobile phones (which aren't embedded) or PCs or servers. On the other hand, mobile phones actually contain one or more embedded systems as their components. See, pinephone gsm modem documentation for example.
It is read only and will run one particular application in a kind of KIOSK mode. I'm using floppy just for fun.
