Abstract

This paper describes basic features of an universal embedded board developed in our university. After a brief summarization of the board hardware design, the paper focuses on presented software architecture solution. The modular firmware structure based on input/output driver model and a real time operating system (FreeRTOS in our case) is explained and the usage of the software development kit (SDK) plugged-in the Eclipse development platform is shown. Moreover, a recently developed technique for automatic generation of advanced control algoritms has been ported to this platform. This technique called MicroREX is based on the Micro RexLib function block library. Software generation is demonstrated on two examples.
