ABSTRACT

A simulator is designed and developed for helping embedded system development team to plan their time schedule, work flow etc. and distribute human resources and their efforts over various phases of washing machine development. The simulator helps in identifying development phases of washing machine for successful operations of overall system. The development process of washing machine has been done in a cost effective way by planning and managing and simulating the system. The simulator gives the results in form of critical and near-critical phases while considering the rest of phases as concurrent development activities. The simulator has been a handy tool for engineers in developing the system in an optimal manner. Hardware/Software Codesign approach in which both hardware and software designers’ work together to develop a system is used in this work.
