ABSTRACT
In general, embedded systems can be designed at different levels of abstraction, e.g., as pure hardware circuit designs, as bare-iron level programs (without an operating system), as programs based on a real-time operating system, and as models of a model-driven development. This paper focuses on a synchronous model-driven development tool called Averest. Using Averest, we describe how we consider and combine system descriptions at the mentioned four levels of abstraction. We discuss a case study targeting a distributed embedded system where these different levels have been used.
