Reduced time-to-market in spite of increasing the system´s
functionality, reuse of software on different hardware
platforms, and the demand for performing validation activities
earlier in the development phase raise the need for revising
the state-of-the-art development methodologies for
distributed embedded systems.
The Model Driven Architecture is a design methodology
addressing these emerging requirements. Developing
embedded systems according to this model-based paradigm
requires a platform-independent representation of the functionality
of the application as well as a precise model of the
targeted hardware platform.
In this paper we introduce a meta-model for capturing
the resources of hardware platforms realizing the DECOS
architecture, which is an integrated time-triggered architecture
aimed at the development of distributed embedded
systems. Furthermore, we present a tool chain based on
this meta-model that speeds up the modeling process and
reduces the likelihood of human errors by facilitating the
reuse of hardware building blocks from libraries.
