Hi all,

could someone point me to a quotable source/book on the numbers of
embedded vs. desktop CPUs out there. I'm looking for a statement along
the lines of "90% of all processors worldwide are used in consumer
electronics and embedded control systems".

I'm also looking (for my thesis) for current, academic books on software
design considerations on (small) embedded systems - drivers,
OS development, efficient software, etc. Any recommendations?

thanks,
Andreas

Good luck, BUT, based on my household I have taken a very rough count.

Desktops/laptops
3 (2 win, 1 linux)

Embedded
25.

3 Phones
2 Mobile Phone
1 Router
1 UPS
1 Sprinkler Controller
1 Microwave
1 Oven
1 coffee machine
3 TV's
1 DVD/Lifestyle System.
1 VCR
1 Cable TV Reveiver
2 Digital Cameras.
1 IPOD
1 MP3 Player (Creative)
1 printer
1 scanner
1 smart car bat charger
1 Car Computer

This all excludes.
Car Stereo, Car clock, car instrumentation, wathces, Cro,
Programmers, ICE's, DEv Boards, Computer Monitors....

Point, Embedded outweighs Desktop by a lot. Dont forget, every desktop
has a BIOS (embedded) and most likely has another embedded
implementation for video, keyboard, mouse.... Get my point?



Does this have one?
