Embedded Systems Architecture for Agile Development: A Layers-Based Model

What You’ll Learn

• Identify the major software parts involved in building a typical modern firmware
  
• Assign a layer to each software part so each layer can be separate from another and there won’t be interdependencies between them
  
• Systematically and logically create these layers based on the customer requirements
  
• Use Model-Based Design (MBD) to create an active system architecture that is more accepting of changes
