Preserving temporal behaviour of legacy real-time software across static binary translation
Thomas Heinz · 2008
In contrast to the shorter and shorter life cycles of electronic components, some embedded systems like automotive ECUs need to be supplied for decades. Thus, an embedded system may be subject to several hardware redesigns during its life cycle which may cause tremendous software porting and redevelopment efforts. Static binary translation has the potential to significantly cut these redevelopment costs by automating the software retargeting process.
