A knowledge-based microcontroller software development system

A large range of products are now designed based on the implementation of microcontrollers, as they lead to an overall system enhancement, such as a more compact system design and reduced costs. This can be credited to the peripheral functions embodied in the microcontroller and the flexibility offered by its software. Since the applications of microcontrollers are achieved through software, the implementation of the target controller is considered as an interdisciplinary process. Due to the capability of the current development tool, designers are required to input significant effort such that the development with the process is taking a long time to complete. The purpose of this research is aimed at improving the current microcontroller software development process. [Continues.]
