MDA에 기반한 실시간 운영체제 API 정변환/역변환기의 개발

Abstract

- This paper presents an automated API translator for embedded software development based on a model-driven approach. Since MDA(Model Driven Architecture) provides little support for the development of embedded software, we propose a new approach containing its advantages. First, we define 'generic APIs' which do not depend on any RTOS's but provide most of typical RTOS services. We can describe RTOS-related behaviors of target application using these generic APIs in a CIC(Common Intermediate Code). Then, we propose a transformation tool for translating between a CIC using generic APIs and a C-code for specific RTOS. The proposed API translator converts them using XML transformation rule which is defined outside. It indicates that an API translator extends to other RTOS's by modifying or adding the transformation rule. From the experiment, we validate the proposed method.
