Embedded software provides a flexible and powerful means to differentiate products and achieve competitive advantage. However, the design of embedded software tends to be difficult to manage. This paper describes the use of model-based design to help manage the design of embedded control systems. It presents typical design configurations, such as rapid prototyping, software-in-the-loop, processor-in-the-loop, and hardware-in-the-loop, and discusses their differences and usages. Finally, an overview of some of the aspects typical in developing embedded control systems using model-based design is given.
