Object-oriented embedded C

Abstract

This paper presents an object-oriented implementation of ANSI-C for embedded systems. It offers practical guidelines for producing generic software libraries and portable applications. While various object-oriented implementations of C is available, the aim is to impress a culture of producing safe, robust embedded software which can easily be shared and integrated amongst developers and systems. Starting from coding standards, a design philosophy is proposed for creating reusable drivers, services, applications and finally, a complete real-time operating system.
