An extract from "Embedded systems dictionary" by Jack Ganssle and Michael Barr: "Unfortunately, as hardware design more and more resembles software development, the hardware inherits all of software's evils: late delivery, bugs and misinterpreted specs." If that is the case, the problem of software doesn't lie in the instrinsic properties of software components but in the development pr...

I have written software for an embedded system. All commands are received by UART. Now I must create a document that describes the software and how it works together with the hardware on that circuit board. Someone else should feel comfortable reading this and start to make future modifications to the software. How do I get a good structure in that document? Where to begin? I figure

Hi, Is there any good literature out there pertaining to software design of redundant systems? I have some ideas, but I am not sure if they are adequate, or even correct. I am thinking along the lines of separating the redundancy logic from the business logic. In today's world no software application is an island unto itself. Software applications communicate with each other via some s...

Hi, may I know what is the definition for embedded software? According to what I have gathered, a firmware, a software that determines the operation of a microprocessor, is an embedded software. However, what about a GUI that a user used to control an embedded system. More specifically, this GUI resides on a general purpose PC, which is connected to the embedded system in some way. May I a...

This is a general question about standards that address potentially hazardous failures, especially in software. My question, as simply as I can phrase it, is: If a company develops software that controls potentially hazardous equipment, when should that software be developed in compliance with formal standards? A simple example - a software/hardware system controls a large motor. A softwa...

What percentage would you say your current project consists of software reuseable items? By software reusable items I mean something that you acquired (purchased, freeware, shareware, licensed etc) which you had no responsibility in the development, construction, or testing. You reused them because the documentation was sufficient to convince you of its quality.
