Abstract

Embedded systems are critical in modern technological infrastructures, powering devices ranging from consumer electronics to industrial automation systems. Traditional design methodologies often face challenges in balancing performance, power consumption, and development time. This paper explores the integrated approach of hardware-software co-design, which allows for concurrent development of hardware and software components to achieve higher efficiency and performance. The study examines the advantages of co-design over traditional methodologies, highlighting its impact on execution speed, power consumption, and overall design efficiency. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature and empirical data, this paper establishes the potential of hardware-software co-design in enhancing the performance and reliability of embedded systems.
