Unified UML software environment for embedded systems in education

This paper presents a software system which was designed as a tool for enhancing education process in the embedded system classes. Over the years it was established that students waste the majority of their time in classes on adopting software interface which leaves them with very little time to master the key principles in the curriculum. This is especially true in the case of the embedded systems because there students must learn to work with several software packets. The developed software system allows students to concentrate on just one graphical interface which is intended to handle every aspect of embedded system design - from algorithm simulation to the hardware implementation. Apart from this the system is capable of communicating with the third party software without burdening the user with the new interface.
