Embedded Platform Software Development

Abstract
This thesis involves working with an embedded hardware platform based on the
Freescale ColdFire v2 core, namely the MCF5208EVB development board. It’s an
architecture that allows the use of running a special branch of Linux called uClinux
which is specifically tailored to run on systems without a MMU (Memory Management
Unit). It brings certain limitations to the system which needs to be taken into
consideration when developing applications. On the target platform a measuring
application is running which generates data files that are processed and presented using
a web server. The data files are generated as XML files and are in the user’s browser
combined with an XSLT style sheet to transform the raw data into an easy to use web
interface.
