ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method and a system for designing an embedded system using a design process for building a general-purpose computer. Specifically, the embedded system design includes adding and removing add-on cards as needed during the development of the embedded system design. The add-on cards are easily obtainable and connect to a circuit board of the embedded system by selecting lines originating from the circuit board. The lines not selected are passed on to other add-on cards connected to previously connected add-on cards. After all the lines from the circuit board are either selected to connect to logic of the add-on cards or remain unselected, information regarding the add-on cards are used to generate a configuration image. The configuration image is transmitted to a programmable processor of the circuit board to enable communication on the selected lines, thus permitting the embedded system to function.
