Aidan Cully on Systems Programming On A System On A Chip

Embedded software is characterized by a tight coupling to its
associated hardware.  This means that there is an ability to reduce
the hardware and software footprint to the barest version that can
possibly support the intended applications of the embedded system.  In
turn, this means that many libraries written for full-featured
operating systems are not well suited to run in the embedded
environment, as they often assume a range of system features available
in common desktop platforms, but unavailable to many embedded systems.

This talk will emphasize techniques developers can use to make their
software more suitable for embedded systems.  I will also discuss
debugging embedded applications, as well as the process of
co-developing custom hardware, and its associated software drivers.

Aidan Cully is a software engineer at Arkados, a fabless semiconductor
manufacturer in Piscataway, NJ.
