I don't understand itialian but your slides look like you argue that an embedded system has certain system parameters like RAM, storage, CPU speeds that are much lower to what you expect from a desktop machine. While this may be true for some time you are always risking that next years' technology catches up with your assumptions very quickly= =2E Just think about the Sheeva CPU which supports clockspeed up to 1.2GHz, or the OMAP4 which will comes with 2 CPU cores. A better way to argue is IMO the great integration an embedded system provides. The chip that makes up the system often contains various controllers for e.g. ethernet, wireless, sound, lcd, bluetooth, ... Often there is also a graphics core and a DSP added. And while having all these shiny stuff in they consume a fraction of the power a desktop CPU does. That is at least the way I would introduce people to the embedded world. = :) Regards Robert --------------enigEA0357C1FB1D72931D312C2C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEAREIAAYFAknSnWEACgkQG9cfwmwwEto70QCfW0iFqSkwkSSyTJZ4oNNwR/qE Bx4Ani5eaLnZ3NChN1EmOpywMY2P1tQ/ =kI/a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigEA0357C1FB1D72931D312C2C--
