Embedded Systems Multimedia Framework for Microcontroller Devices

Abstract

The presented paper attempts to establish a generalized approach to the development of embedded systems multimedia applications. It is formalized in the form of a framework that defines rules and recommenda- tions for a developer on how to implement specific pieces of software that work with multimedia data. The basis for the development process is the division of the system’s func- tionality into stages with the following development of each stage. The framework also defines how touch sensor events may be elaborated. The proposed framework has been tested in a test scenario in an application with multiple stages. The results proved that the solution is feasible for multimedia applications (specifically, with graphics proc- essing) and can be regarded as a generalized approach to the development of embedded systems with multimedia functionality.
