Embedded operating system

An embedded operating system is an operating system for embedded systems. These operating systems are designed to be very compact and efficient, forsaking many functionalities that non-embedded computer operating systems provide which may not be used by the specialized applications they run. They are frequently also real-time operating systems.

Embedded operating systems include:

• Linux derivatives
• Windows CE
• Windows XP Embedded
• VxWorks
• NetBSD
• OSE
• QNX
• OS-9
