Abstract
According to the development of embedded systems, they are used in various fields. However, the productivity and the quality of embedded systems are not acceptable because of the hardware environment-oriented development. Several works has proposed new techniques using a formal specification method or complex template, but due to high complexity and low flexibility of the method, it is difficult to be used. Accordingly, this paper presents a new approach to develop embedded device drivers which are kinds of embedded system software. In our approach, we define a light device driver template for ensuring high flexibility and productivity and generate the device driver by incorporating with embedded system information represented by XML. By using XML we consider the design phase in device driver development process for the quality of the driver. Our approach, improves the reusability of embedded device driver and finally, it will improve productivity and quality of embedded system.
