Development of a PC-Based Code Simulator for Verifying Ubiquitous Embedded Software

摘要

Embedded system is playing a significant role in the ubiquitous computing. Therefore, verification of embedded software is necessary and important. In order to verify embedded software, a software developer has to prepare a running environment since embedded software is designed for the particular target system and it needs compatible hardware and its running environment. The development of its running environent may be costly and time-consuming job. Therefore, it is not easy to run and verify embedded software in the ealier development stage. To solve this problem, we develop a code simulator running on PC for embedded software. The simulator analyzes the embedded software code and makes it compatible with PC to run and verify by simulating the target system.
