Abstract

A method for generating computer software for a microprocessor in an embedded system in which the system includes an input/output system (BIOS), at least one input/output channel, an application layer having at least one code module which processes input/output signals from its associated channel in the BIOS, and an operating system which schedules execution of events in the application layer. A graphical user interface (GUI) is used to select channels of the BIOS by functionality, program code modules in the application layer to process the input/output signals from the BIOS and to schedule event processing in the operating system.
