The Challenges of Embedded Software Development

The challenges of embedded software development are divided into three layers: getting off the ground issues, concurrency issues, and spaghetti code. The first layer includes tasks like setting up the hardware and software, while the second layer involves dealing with race conditions and other concurrency problems. The third layer, spaghetti code, refers to convoluted code structures with nested if statements and numerous variables and flags. These issues make the code difficult to understand and modify. To avoid these challenges, a new approach called the active object design pattern is suggested.
