Agile software development methods have been suggested as useful in manysituations and contexts. However, only few (if any) experiences are availableregarding the use of agile methods in embedded domain where the hardware setstight requirements for the software. This development domain is arguably faraway from the agile home ground. This paper explores the possibility of usingagile development techniques in this environment and defines the requirementsfor new agile methods targeted to facilitate the development of embeddedsoftware. The findings are based on an empirical study over a period 12 monthsin the development of low-level telecommunications software. We maintain thatby addressing the requirements we discovered, agile methods can be successfulalso in the embedded software domain.
