Description

Until recently embedded systems development was performed by experienced specialists using a variety of custom kernels, non-standard languages, vendor-specific device interfaces and custom hardware. System integration involved a complicated process of obtaining timing measurements, hand-tuning code, and re-measuring. These ad-hoc techniques do not scale well for modern systems. Also, the majority of system developers is no longer composed of embedded control experts. As a result, a trend is emerging to use off-the-shelf hardware and enhance standard software to meet embedded requirements, ranging from real-time extensions of common programming languages and operating systems to appropriate tools for embedded programmers.
