Embedded system design - a unified hardware / software introduction

Unified ardware and Software MO mart Syste esig

“Smart” electromechanical systems (e.g., washing machines, car anti-skid braking systems and reprographic machines, i.e., printers and photocopiers) are machines with intelligent, embedded computer control. Conventional embedded controllers performed a preprogrammed set of actions, but as machines have become more versatile, controllers are being designed to generate and evaluate different plan...

A Feature-based Approach to Embedded System Hardware and Software Co-design

Correspnding author, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT An embedded system is a hybrid of hardware and softwarethat combines software flexibility and hardware real-time performance. The co-design of hardware and software is the most critical but difficult issue in embedded system design. In this paper, we propose a novel feature-based approach to the codesign of hardware and software in embedded ...

Embedded System Design: A Unified Hardware/Software Approach

Feature-based Component Model for Design of Embedded Systems

An embedded system is a hybrid of hardware and software, which combines software’s flexibility and hardware real-time performance. Embedded systems can be considered as assemblies of hardware and software components. An Open Embedded System Model (OESM) is currently being developed at NIST to provide a standard representation and exchange protocol for embedded systems and system-level design, s...

On Teaching Embedded Systems Design to Electrical Engineering Students

This paper describes the some relevant issues encountered by the authors during the development and teaching of an embedded system (ES) course meant for third year Electrical Engineering Bachelor students at the Faculty of Information Technology and Systems, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Given that we were addressing Electrical Engineering students, we deviated from the “trad...
