Research on an integrated hardware and software system concentrated mostly on design and development techniques. The expected result of the research was an integrated system. One of the key objectives of the project was to find a means of organising development activities considering hardware constraints and software capacities. This was essential as the number of initiatives aiming at bringing the digital logic and physical components of systems closer together has clearly increased recently. A careful analysis of co-design approaches revealed the major impact early-stage cooperation between the hardware and software teams had on the performance, efficiency, and scalability of the system. This assessment aimed to show the significant influence this teamwork produced. Among the effective techniques that can enable parallel development and concurrently lower integration risks under explored in this work are iterative prototyping, hardware/software co-simulation, and model-based design. Those were the approaches under investigation as possible, reasonably efficient ones. Among the main development tools and platforms investigated for their possible to increase system validation and speed up the development process were hardware description languages (HDLs), real-time operating systems (RTOS), and FPGA prototype environments. These platforms and technologies were proven to greatly help in development. Real-world case studies covering embedded systems, automotive control units, and Internet of Things applications were assessed in order to show the pragmatic advantages of integrated development approaches. Doing this aimed to show how well development plans might provide benefits.
