Studies have shown that software is now the main bottleneck for most embedded systems projects. According to Embedded Market Forecasters, 56% of all embedded designs are behind schedule, and software development is responsible for 80% of these design delays. This is true for all size designs including 8, 16, and 32 bit microcontroller applications. UML-based Model-Driven Development (MDD) tools like Rhapsody combined with Hitex Development Tools offer the best solution to this problem by speeding up development, testing, debugging and documentation of embedded designs. This webcast explains how combining MDD, UML and Hitex can enhance your productivity, providing similar benefits as were realized when you moved from assembler to C.
