Embedded software development today

A new paradigm has emerged in the embedded industry. Semiconductor
companies have moved away from silicon only to system companies –
building application-ready, hardware/software-specific platforms. Software
developers are tasked to do more in a fraction of the time. Developers must
also design their systems to accommodate ever-increasing processing
power while staying within a given power budget and incorporate multicore architectures. If today’s developers are to meet these challenges, they
will need to work within an all-inclusive, highly integrated, and independent
development platform. What’s needed is a new design methodology
based on a true build system with all the essential components
pre-integrated and in place.
Nucleus ReadyStart answers that need.
