Abstract

A platform for running embedded software using an inexpensive standard personal computer is disclosed. A particular embodiment includes a compiler assist component and a runtime component. The compiler assist component operates in conjunction with a standard personal computer compiler to compile an embedded system application to run on a conventional personal computer. The runtime component executes on the personal computer and operates in conjunction with the standard operating system drivers to allow an emulated system to communicate with real hardware connected to the personal computer or to virtual hardware that is simulated on the personal computer.
