Abstract
With the ever-increasing application of embedded systems in the field of industrial control, the demand for embedded configuration software becomes inevitable. This paper presents a general method of developing embedded configuration software based on embedded Linux operation system. The software architecture consisting of host and target is given out. The relationship between graphic-element classes and its implementation are described. The animation implementation technology of dynamic graphic-elements and data communication mechanism based on signal and slot are discussed in detail. Furthermore, aimed at the poor processing power of embedded microprocessors and the limited storage resources on embedded platforms, the paper proposes a multi-level strategy for the performance optimization of embedded configuration software. The experiment result shows that this embedded configuration software can meet user’s requirements on real-time performance and resource consumption, and thus has application prospect and popularization value.
