embedded system is a system which is dedicated to do one thing, and

You can see it on several devices. For example, the DVD's player or the DVD Divx player, the PDA OS ..., but this also can do other things like our project in my classroom which is a video streamer server and clients.

There are several Operating System (O.S.) that you can use.
- Windows CE which is one of the most known. But it's a solution at a hight cost.
- VxWorks,
- Mentor Embedded System,
- LINUX ( which is a solution at a low cost ),
- and the others......
For us, we have choose an OS which is a solution at a low cost but with the possibilities of using an OS multi-plateforms, multi-users but the most interesting is multi-process. We have used Linux OS to do our embedded system.
We have worked with a distribution of Linux which is a Suse 9.1. We have install several tools that be report to the next page.
