Virtual tools and collaborative working environment in embedded system design

This paper has explored the existing approaches to the design of embedded systems. It is demonstrated that when creating a control system of moving objects based on microcontrollers, it is reasonable to use a hybrid approach based on the designed circuit boards and prepared specialized platforms. It allows satisfying the requirements of minimizing size, power consumption and at the same time reducing the time and labour content of the system design. The results of the development of architecture, hardware and software of the embedded system for efficient remote control of the moving platforms are presented. It also describes the collaborative working environment in which the project is created.
