C04: Microcontroller applications reconfiguration method and development system

Abstract The paper presents support solutions for designing, reconfiguration and testing embedded system applications with microcontrollers. The proposed method allows the reconfiguration of an industrial application, in different versions, by following the next steps: designing the core software independent to the hardware input and output signal pins; defining a table of pins – signals correspondence, for each particular configuration; adding particular software, involving usually just number of signals, input – output functions, etc. The proposed development system offers the needed functions for redesigning the application, without changing the core software, and even without knowing the assembler details of the application.
