Embedded Operating Systems Face Greater Productivity Demands

摘要

Converging market forces, evolving technologies, and new paradigms for creating application software inspire designers to consider issues beyond operating system (OS) compactness, and productivity tool capabilities when developing embedded systems. Mounting pressure to implement ever more functionality in software, made possible by increasingly powerful, cost-effective microprocessors, fuels "feature wars" among segments of the embedded systems marketplace, particularly in. consumer electronics.
