An embedded system is a combination of computer hardware and software, and perhaps additional mechanical or other parts, designed to perform a specific function. In this paper, we design and implement efficient SDKs for the embedded system. When we develop the embedded system, we use the cross development method because of limited resource. Simulator, stub for GDB, and monitor are implemented in order. Simulator consists of 4 threads； CPU, display, I/O, timer thread. Stub is developed to connect GDB. Monitor is programed to improve stub and can debug the application program without the debugger in the host.

In the field of electrical industry, embedded computing environment including hardware and software is getting more important as the industry shifts to the knowledge-based one. Java could play a great role as bridging technology in such a transition because it provides a lot of benefits like dynamic application download, compatibility of cross platform, and its own security solution. However, the Java technology has a limitation of real-time problem when it is applied to the embedded computing system of the electrical industry. To solve the problem, a novel java-native combination model has been proposed and designed to a firmware level. This scheme has been employed in four kinds of control boards. The result shows that the proposed model has great potential to implement the real-time processing in control of the devices.

In this paper smart shoes for dementia care using embedded boards and Low Power Wide Area technology and their application software are implemented. The communication board composed of Cortex-M3 board and LoRa module is embedded into groove made in outsole of smart shoes. Including the mold, the shoe outsole was manufactured by hand. By using application software and embedded board, caregiver can track the position of dementia patient using GPS and LoRa network. The location tracking and data transmission operations of smart shoes have been successfully verified in the outdoor environment. The smart shoes of this paper are applicable to a safety device to prevent the disappearance of demented patients through results of experiments and if bigdata is collected and analyzed by deep-learning, it may be helpful to analyze the predictive path of dementia patients or the pattern of dementia.

In sensor networks, analyzing power consumption before actual deployment is crucial for maximizing service lifetime. This paper proposes an instruction-level power estimator (IPEN) for sensor networks. IPEN is an accurate and fine grain power estimation tool, using an instruction-level simulator. It is independent of the operating system, so many different kinds of sensor node software can be simulated for estimation. We have developed the power model of a Micaz-compatible mote. The power consumption of the ATmega128L microcontroller is modeled with the base energy cost and the instruction overheads. The CC2420 communication component and other peripherals are modeled according to their operation states. The energy consumption estimation module profiles peripheral accesses and function calls while an application is running. IPEN has shown excellent power estimation accuracy, with less than 5% estimation error compared to real sensor network implementation. With IPEN's high precision instruction-level energy prediction, users can accurately estimate a sensor network's energy consumption and achieve fine-grained optimization of their software.

LEON3 is a 32-bit synthesizable processor based on the SPARC V8. It can be connected to AMBA 2.0 bus and has a 7- stage pipeline, IEEE-754 FPU and 256[KB] cache. It can be easily implemented using FPGA and used for a SoC design. DSU which comes with LEON3 can be used to control and monitor the operation of LEON3. And DSU makes it easy to set a debugging environment for the development of both hardware and software for an embedded systems based on LEON3. This paper presents the summary of the debugging tool for LEON3 based embedded systems. The debugging tool can initialize the target hardware, find out how the target hardware is configured, load application code to a specified memory space and run that application code. To provide users a debugging environment, it can set breakpoints and control the operation of LEON3 correspondingly. And function call trace is one of key functions of the debugging tool.

Recently virtualization has been one of the most popular research topics in system software area. While there already exist many commercial virtualization products for general-purpose computer system, little efforts are made to virtualize embedded system. In this paper, we design and implement a virtual machine monitor which divides each physical hardware resource of a embedded system into logical ones and reorganizes them into many virtual machines, which result in running several real-time operating systems concurrently on a single embedded system. We measure various performance metrics of the virtual machine monitor developed on a real embedded system. The results of the study show that our virtual machine monitor has enough potentiality of its application to real-world embedded systems.

Computing environment of space explorer including LEO (Low Earth Orbit), GEO (Geosynchronous Earth Orbit) satellite may be considered as the same category of embedded system on the ground. But with comparison with personal computing environment it is widely accepted that the space computing is outdated and behind of state of the art. Especially file system which is nearly essential item in all ground computing environment including personal computer, workstation and server is rarely used in space explorer till lately. In this paper, a study of ESA PUS (Packet Utilization Standard) and CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) community's activity, international trend, and applicable technical application for applying file system in oder to use these standards for utilizing the file system to deep space explorer is described.

The dynamic cast operation allows flexibility in the design and use of data management facilities in object-oriented programs. Dynamic cast has an important role in the implementation of the Data Management Services (DMS) of the Mission Data System Project (MDS), the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's experimental work for providing a state-based and goal-oriented unified architecture for testing and development of mission software. DMS is responsible for the storage and transport of control and scientific data in a remote autonomous spacecraft. Like similar operators in other languages, the C++ dynamic cast operator does not provide the timing guarantees needed for hard real-time embedded systems. In a recent study, Gibbs and Stroustrup (G&S) devised a dynamic cast implementation strategy that guarantees fast constant-time performance. This paper presents the definition and application of a cosimulation framework to formally verify and evaluate the G&S fast dynamic casting scheme and its applicability in the Mission Data System DMS application. We describe the systematic process of model-based simulation and analysis that has led to performance improvement of the G&S algorithm's heuristics by about a factor of 2. In this work we introduce and apply a library for extracting semantic information from C++ source code that helps us deliver a practical and verifiable implementation of the fast dynamic casting algorithm.
