Process for the development of embedded system following the practices of CMMI Level 2

Currently there is a great dependence on industry and society to the use of embedded computer systems, they are present in our daily lives and often we do not realize it. The greatest feature of such systems is the ability to perform very important tasks with little computational resource. Many of these products are considered critical, since in case of failure, may cause catastrophes or large losses when embedded in aircraft, radiation therapy machine, space systems among others. In most cases, embedded systems have restrictions on their development and operation, they require specific requirements, in addition to not having models of the systems development process that meets these needs. The high demand and different applications are making it even more critical. To ensure it is functioning in it is development, should employ processes with defined procedures for their particularities. This article presents a study that is being conducted to define the structure of the development process that meets the characteristics of embedded system, where it is phases and activities induce the good practice suggested by current models of quality, and produce documents that meet these models and allow control points for the seamless integration of the functions of the software and hardware of the embedded system.
