Abstract :
Embedded software intellectual property (IP) is becoming vital for today´s complex system-on-chips. We first define the notion of hardware-dependent software, and then review the multidimensional criteria for choosing ESW IP, including retargetability and portability, flexibility, optimisation, validation and certification
