EMBEDDED SYSTEM PROJECT MANAGEMENT

1. EMBEDDED SYSTEM PROJECT
MANAGEMENT
• There are two approaches for the embedded system
design
(1)The software life cycle ends and the life cycle for the
process of integrating the software into the hardware
begins at the time when a system is designed.
(2)Both cycles concurrently proceed when co-designing a
time critical sophisticated system. The final design,
when implemented, gives the targeted embedded
system and thus the final product.

• Therefore, an understanding of the
(a)Software and hardware designs and
integrating both into a system and
(b) Hardware–software co-designing
are important aspects of designing embedded
systems.
