Model-Driven Design for Fast Deployment of Embedded Systems

Abstract

The deployment of embedded systems is often complicated because it involves both software and hardware circuits. The requirements for the system can change over time or with the situations of deployment. When the hardware is fixed, the communication functions between the microcontroller and the peripheral and the modules are fixed, so the optimal solution is to ensure that the deployment can change quickly and accurately with minimum software knowledge. Thus, the system designers need to find ways to develop embedded software that can respond to changes in requirements. This paper explores the UML Statechart embedded software architecture and modeling on the QP Real- Time Embedded Frameworks, providing a solution that meets the flexibility needed for embedded software development.
