Abstract

The dissemination of complex embedded systems is feasible due to the low cost provided by the technology advance. This complexity is also present in the design process. The embedded systems design tools evolution has supported this process. However, nowadays development strategies are not suitable for the design of many applications, they seldom guide the developer in the design of an application oriented final solution. This work shows advantages and disadvantages of application-oriented system design used to develop two embedded systems. The disadvantages found in these two designs may help AOSD methodology improvement in hardware generation.
