In recent years, embedded systems have become so complex and the development time to market is required to be shorter than before. As embedded systems include more functions for new services, embedded software gradually grow in size, and development costs and time are increasing. In order to overcome this serious matter, we need a customized design and test technique for embedded software. In this paper, we present a software architecture style for embedded software. It facilitates the composition of reusable functions and helps developers to reduce development time. Because the costs associated with revealing errors of embedded software in applications are rising. we propose a test method and tools for target environments.

The embedded software has been developed in the forms of various versions that provides similar service based on product family. For increase usefulness of product family, software must has well-structured and reusable properties. Software architecture is important to improve adaptability in model-based development of embedded software mounted onto product family. In this paper, we proposed a technique of ADD(Attribute-Driven Design)-based software architecture design for low power software development. This technique provides a chance to consider the power consumption issue in design phase of software, and makes possible to develop low power embedded software.

임베디드 소프트웨어는 대상 프로세서에 내장되어 특정 기능을 수행하기 위한 소프트웨어로, 한번 탑재되면 수정하는 것이 쉽지 않기 때문에 임베디드 소프트웨어의 기능에 대한 평가는 중요하다. 임베디드 소프트웨어는 탑재할 대상 플랫폼 및 정의된 기능 요구사항에 맞게 구성되고 맞춤하여 개발되므로 그 종류가 매우 다양하고, 임베디드 소프트웨어를 구성하는 여러 요소들이 매우 밀접하게 연결되어 있기 때문에 이를 평가한다는 것은 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 임베디드 소프트웨어의 특성을 반영한 평가 모델을 제안하고 실제 임베디드 소프트웨어에 본 평가 모델을 적용한 결과를 기술한다.

For the rapid development of embedded software, a variety of development tools have been developed. But, the embedded software developers do not use the available tools fluently and do not improve software productivity as expect because there are short of supporting utilization convenience of development tools. In this paper, we suggest a tool of building custom development environment for improving the utilization convenience of embedded software development tools. The custom development environment helps developers to rapid selection and access of appropriate tools required to develop the embedded software on the specific embedded system. In addition, it enables developers to handle the outputs from development tools associatively. Moreover it is very flexible in extension and integration because it's implementation based on Eclipse technology. We also perform the evaluation of our tool and successfully validate the utilization convenience of embedded development tools. Therefore, we expect that this tool enables developers to use the embedded development tools efficiently, and then it help improving embedded software productivity.

To reduce time-to-market, more and more embedded system developers and system-on-chip designers rely on microprocessor-based design methodology. ARM processor has been a major player in this industry over the last 10 years. However, there are many restrictions on developing embedded software using ARM processor in the early design stage. For those who are not familiar with embedded software development environment or who cannot afford to have an expensive embedded hardware equipment, testing their software on a real ARM hardware platform is a challenging job. To overcome such a problem, we have designed VMA (Virtual ARM Machine), which offers easier testing and debugging environment to ARM based embedded system developers. Major benefits that can be achieved by utilizing a virtual ARM platform are (1) reducing development cost, (2) lowering the entrance barrier for embedded system novices, and (3) making it easier to test and debug embedded software designs. Unlike many other purely software-oriented ARM simulators which are independent of real hardware platforms, VMA is specifically targeted on SYS-Lab 5000 ARM hardware platform, (designed by Libertron, Inc.), which means that VMA imitates behaviors of embedded software as if the software is running on the target embedded hardware as closely as possible. This paper will describe how VMA is designed and how VMA can be used to reduce design time and cost.

Automotive systems have tended to be equipped with many electronic contents to satisfy safety, comport, convenience, and entertainment services over the past years. As a result, the amount of vehicle embedded software in electrical/electronic(E/E) systems is steadily increasing to manage these requirements. This leads to the traditional, document-based software development in the vehicle embedded systems being increasingly displaced by a model-based development in order to reduce software development time and cost. Due to the application of model-based development, a great evolution is being realized in the aspect of efficiency, but the development is being made without sufficient testing. So, erroneous automotive embedded software may cause serious problems such as car accidents which relate to human safety. Therefore, efficient methods for model-based test and validation are needed to improve software reliability in the stage of embedded software development. This paper presents the model-based development and test method for AUTOSAR embedded software to improve its reliability and safety, and it is demonstrated based on the case study.

Reliability of embedded softwares, as one of factors which affect system reliability, is the probability of failure-free software operation for a specified period of time in a specified environment. and Embedded software is different from general package software because hardware and operating system are tightly coupled to each other. Reliability evaluation models for embedded softwares currently used do not separate estimation and prediction models clearly, and even a standard model has not been proposed yet. In this respect, we choose a reliability estimation model suitable for embedded softwares among software evaluation models being used, and modified the model so as to accomodate recent software environments. In addtion, based on the model, the web-based reliability prediction tool RPX is developed. Finally, an embedded software is analyzed using the tool.

As information telecommunication industry develops and systems get integrated gradually, the importance of embedded software is growing significantly. On the contrary, the reliability of embedded software has worsened. Accordingly, testing of software is an essential part in designing and building up embedded system and the volume of testing required is immense. This paper elaborates on design and testing model for complex embedded software, providing guidelines to collect requirements for complex embedded software.

최근에 임베디드 시스템에 첨가되는 기능들은 대부분의 응용분야에서 점점 다양화되고 복잡해지고 있다. 임베디드 소프트웨어가 점점 더 많은 기능을 포함하게 되고, 그 크기도 점점 커지고 있다. 따라서 소프트웨어 개발자들이 제시간에 개발기간을 맞추는 것이 점점 더 어려워지고 있다. 그러므로 임베디드 소프트웨어 개발에 적합한 설계 및 시험 기법이 요구된다. 이 논문에서 우리는 임베디드 소프트웨어를 위한 소프트웨어 구조 형태를 제안한다. 이 구조는 재사용 가능한 기능의 조립을 촉진시키며 개발자가 개발기간을 단축하는데 도움이 된다. 또한 우리는 목적시스템에서 동작하는 임베디드 소프트웨어를 시험하는 기법과 도구를 제안한다.

In this paper we describe the integrated development environment for embedded software education. Our environment uses a cheap and widely available portable game console, Nintendo DS-lite. We have integrated open source development tools, and have implemented download shell, remote debugger. The results are all open source, and were used for university class for real embedded software education.
