Abstract

Existing embedded software development methodologies can hardly cope with platform changes such as CPU upgrades, different RTOS or distributed systems. The timing definition language (TDL) enables the development of deterministic real-time components regardless of the deployment platform. The proposed virtual execution environment enables parallel execution and deterministic run-time composition of real-time TDL components with data dependencies. We focus on embedded code generation and the virtual machine that controls the execution of TDL components and their interaction patterns.
