Design and Realization of Simulation Environment of Embedded Software and Hardware Intergration Based on GEF

Abstract

Embedded software and hardware integration simulation platform is developed for simulating the embedded systems design process in current engineering system, which can facilitate finding various problems in system design process. For example, in the system scheme phase, the scheme and design verification are untimely and inadequate. In the early prototype phase, software development lags behind result in deferral of the overall progress of the system. And in the late prototype stage, the problem is lacking configuration item test environment. Embedded software and hardware integration simulation platform can provide verification of hardware and software integration and test development environment. Therefore, the quality of software development in embedded systems can be significantly improved and development cycle can be remarkably shortened by using this simulation platform.
