Abstract

This paper presents a design and simulation environment to support the validation of design concepts for embedded systems during early design phases. The tool is built around a methodology based on rapid prototyping. The MCEMS Toolbox supports the designer during the architectural, detailed design and implementation phase with a set of models, software and hardware for system description, prototype synthesis and execution under real-time conditions. Thus, specifications can be validated during early design phases which shortens the overall development time
