Abstract
FASTBUS is an international standard high-speed bus system for data acquisition and processing. It is used by several large high-energy physics experiments. Mandatory bus protocols and programmable system features permit sophisticated configurations of embedded and external processors to operate coherently. The associated software should support: all defined modes of bus access, test facilities for hardware development, fault diagnosis for device and system debugging, automated configuration and initialisation of large systems, and distributed data collection and processing. An overview of the definition and design of FASTBUS software is presented. The need for and use of software engineering methods is outlined. Basic concepts are illustrated by examples at the bus and system levels, with emphasis on general purpose, experiment-independent software.
