“…It includes features to consider the influence of real-time operating systems and other low-level hardware effects, like interrupts. In addition, the software design can make use of a process network-based approach, which allows hardware dependent software (HdS) generation [235].…”

“…[12] proposes automatic generation of hardware dependent software for MPSoCs platforms from abstract system specifications. The approach of this work is similar to ours in the sense that one can write specifications of embedded systems hiding the details of implementation, and later mapping to an actual platform to generate code is done separately.…”

Code generation for embedded systems is challenging, since the generated code (e.g., C code) is expected to run on a heterogeneous set of target platforms with different characteristics, such as hardware/software architectures and programming interfaces. We propose a code generation framework that provides the flexibility to generate different source code that is executable on each target platform. In our framework, the platform-dependent characteristics of a target platform are explicitly specified by an Architectural Analysis Description Language (AADL) model and a code snippet repository. The AADL model captures hardware/ software architectural aspects of the platform, such as periodic/aperiodic threads and their interactions with sensors and actuators. The code snippet repository contains platform-dependent code snippets that are categorized according to the functions required to implement the components of the AADL model. These two elements of the platform capability are then used by the code generation algorithm to generate platformdependent code for the given platform. We demonstrate the applicability of our framework using a case study of code generation for two infusion pump systems.

Abstract-Embedded software plays an increasingly important role in implementing modern embedded systems. Development of embedded software, and of Hardware-dependent Software in particular, is challenging due to the tight integration with the underlying hardware architecture.In this paper, we describe our system-level design approach that allows designers to develop software in form of a platformagnostic specification. Our design environment enables exploration of different architectural alternatives and subsequently generates the software implementation. It generates the application code, communication drivers, and an adaptation to a chosen RTOS. It completes the process by producing the final target binary for each processor. Our experimental results demonstrate the automatic generation of the binaries for five control and media oriented applications.
