An Online Physical Simulation Platform for Embedded System Programming

Embedded applications are widely used in many research areas as well as in current daily life. Embedded system programmers need physical devices to verify their applications. This paper presents a work in progress on the development of an online physical simulation platform for embedded system programmers. Remote students access the real device via a website, and the device is reformed to meet the remote control and feedback. We define a series of services to support the simulation process. In contrast with the real device, the online physical simulation approach is functionally equivalent.
