This paper presents a model-based parallelization approach to parallelize embedded systems on single-ISA heterogeneous multicore processors, especially processors with the ARM big.LITTLE architecture, wherein the core assignment of the Simulink blocks is determined based on the control design constraints and characteristics of the big.LITTLE architecture. The proposed approach uses a hierarchical clustering method on Simulink blocks to reduce the problem scale, and an integer linear programming (ILP) formulation to determine the core assignment solution, considering load balancing and minimization of inter-core communication across cores with different performances. Finally, we generate the parallel code of the model based on the core assignment solution for execution on the processors. We evaluate the proposed approach by comparing it with existing methods and generating the parallel code on a single-board computer with the big.LITTLE architecture to determine its effectiveness.

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.

Along with the continuous development of embedded systems, embedded products take higher requirements on the scale and performance of system software, and contributing to the complexity of control algorithm. So it would take more time and expense to realize the control algorithm. Therefore, traditional design is out of date and cant cope with the modern development rhythm well. While the Model-Based Design, is an efficient design method to deal with complex embedded control systems. It provides a common development and test platform for the engineers. In this paper, we take the power windows control system as example; establish the algorithm model with the Simulink/Stateflow. Then we introduce these process of the control system design which is based on the Model-Based Design method, according to the result of the final experiment, we prove the efficiency of this method, providing a reference for the design of other complex control systems.
