MODEL BEHAVIOR:CREATING EMBEDDED-SOFTWARE SHORT CUTS

摘要

Embedded systems traditionally have limited processing and memory resources to minimize costs, yet consumer expectations are escalating to include more functions along with auxiliary features, such as high-speed communications and interactive multimedia. As the software portions of these embedded projects increase in complexity while schedules shrink, designers are considering graphical-design tools and automatic code generators to augment the limited pool of skilled programmers. With an up-front investment to precisely define the system, design tools can automate some of or the entire software-development task.
