Software Development for Embedded Systems

Introduction

The Software development course brings the participants through the entire software development cycle (SDC) in an embedded system project, starting with software requirements solicitation and analysis, followed by software design and implementation, software testing and maintenance. The various issues encountered during the SDC will be discussed during the lectures. Participants will get to practice what is learnt in a mini-project exercise.

Course Objectives

The course aims to equip the participants with a good appreciation of the issues faced during embedded software development, as well as a good grasp of the techniques and approaches to achieve effective and robust outcomes.

Course Outline

Day 1
Introduction to embedded software development cycle, software requirements solicitation and analysis, functional requirements, quality attributes, functional and scenario based approaches to requirements analysis, requirements review and management, software safety issues

Day 2
Software architectural design, identifying architectural drivers, attribute driven design, architectural patterns and tactics, software architecture trade-off, software detailed design, functional and object oriented design techniques, software design review, designing for safety or mission critical applications

Day 3
Software implementation and testing, software robustness, defensive programming, coding standards, code checkers and linting tools, software profiling and optimization techniques, software verification and validation, software testing tools and techniques, use of software simulators, code review or walkthrough, software maintenance, high availability maintenance approaches
