Description: Memory management in embedded systems refers to the process of managing and optimizing the use of available memory in resource-limited devices. These systems, often designed to perform specific tasks, require efficient memory management to ensure optimal performance and system stability. Memory management involves allocating, freeing, and tracking memory usage, as well as handling both static and dynamic memory. In embedded systems, where RAM and storage are scarce, it is crucial to implement techniques that minimize waste and maximize efficiency. This includes the use of memory allocation algorithms, paging and segmentation techniques, and optimizing memory usage at runtime. Memory management must also consider security and data protection, ensuring that applications do not interfere with each other and that sensitive data is safeguarded. In summary, memory management is an essential component in the design and operation of embedded systems, directly affecting their performance and reliability.
