Developing platform independent designs: Model-based design is used to develop source code for multiple compilers, languages and platforms

摘要

Developing software for embedded devices is difficult because the software not only has to work properly, it also has to fit the platform. Tight memory, processor, and storage constraints add challenges beyond those faced for a typical computer-based application. Developers will often design their application software by developing the source course first, making sure it meets the constraints from the beginning. This is practical in terms of applying the constraints, but can have significant impacts on the efficiency and accuracy of the application itself.
