Abstract

As next generation embedded systems are characterized by mobile environment, digital convergence, and ubiquitous computing environment, systematic development tool support for those characteristics is becoming increasingly important. The next generation development tool is also asked to reduce time-to-market, which is an all-time concern in IT industry, by reducing embedded system development time. Use of great embedded software development tool will be one of the top-priority requirements for successful IT products. This paper will focus on an embedded system development tool techniques specialized for device driver development and introduce their prototype implementation plugged into Esto, an Eclipse-based embedded software development toolkit.

The device driver development tool will show the way to reduce device driver development effort and time for various types of devices with facilities for software/hardware testing, automatic code generation, and verification in all phases of development process.
