Embedded platforms tend to be highly customized. In addition, they tend to be complex; in many cases they comprise a heterogenous mix of different micro-engines and specialized architectures performing dedicated tasks. This functionality may be implemented at the platform level; however the trend is towards increasing levels of integration resulting in many system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The form-factor constraints and specialized use cases of embedded designs frequently imply cross-development, Web development host is a standard workstation or personal computer. This development host is then connected to the embedded target system, which is the system that will ultimately be available to customers.
