One of the possible ways leading to speed-up of the software development process on embedded systems can be an application of formal-method-based development approaches. These techniques assure fast, error-free and intuitive way of creation of software applications
which can be highly optimized and also in many cases platform and/or programming language-independent. Nowadays, these techniques are widely used in modern RAD IDEs designed for desktop computers, but are still missing in embedded systems development environments.
The contribution shows that FSMs can be successfully used for generation of platform-independent source code and software applications running on various types of target MCUs can be built from it. It also deals with basic code-generation and optimization concepts and algorithms used among this software development approach.
