are both related to CPUs (central processing units), and CPUs are combined with other essential computer parts (such as storage chips and digital signal processors (DSPs)). Microcontrollers integrate all these parts into a single chip.</li>
<li><strong>Firmware and Software:</strong> The complexity of the system software differs from industrial-grade microcontrollers and embedded IoT systems, on the other hand, they usually run relatively basic software, using very little memory.</li>
