Despite its importance, the role of HdS is most often underestimated and the topic is not well represented in literature and education. To address this, Hardware-dependent Software brings together experts from different HdS areas. Byproviding a comprehensive overview of general HdS principles, tools, and applications, this book provides adequate insight into the current technology and upcoming developments in the domain of HdS. The reader will find an interesting text book with self-contained introductions to the principles of Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), the emerging BIOS successor UEFI, and the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). Other chapters cover industrial applications, verification, and tool environments. Tool introductions cover the application of tools in the ASIP software tool chain (i.e. Tensilica) and the generation of driversand OS components from C-based languages. Applications focus on telecommunication and automotive systems. To our knowledge, this is the first complete bookon hardware-dependent software, a critical topic in embedded system design Comprehensive introductions HdS coverage with many applications Examples from industrial automotive and communication designs INDICE: Preface. 1 HW-dependent SW; Wolfgang Ecker, Wolfgang Müller, Rainer Dömer. 2 Basic Concepts of Real Time Operating Systems; Franz Rammig, et al.3 UEFI: From Reset Vector to Operating System; Vincent Zimmer, et al. 4 HW Abstraction Layer; Katalin Popovici, Ahmed Jerraya. 5 HW/SW Interface – Implementation and Modeling; Wolfgang Ecker, et al. 6 Firmware Development for Evolving Digital Communication Technologies; Stefan Heinen and Michael Joost. 7 Generation and Use of an ASIP SW Tool Chain; Sterling Augustine, et al. 8 High-Level Development, Modeling and Automatic Generation of HW-Dependent SW; Gunar Schirner, et al. 9 Accurate RTOS Modeling and Analysis with SystemC; Henning Zabel, et al. 10 Verification of AUTOSAR SWby SystemC-BasedVirtual Prototyping; Matthias Krause, et al.
