Abstract :
The embedded-object concept, EOC, applies common object-oriented software methods to Lego-like hardware-software entities. These modular entities, representing objects in object-oriented design, function as electronic building blocks that can be assembled into new embedded systems. The goal of the EOC is to make embedded-system design faster and easier while preserving the commercial applicability of the resulting devices.
