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 recommendations 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 functionality 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 processing) and can be regarded as a generalized approach to the development of embedded systems with multimedia functionality.
