Abstract
The spread of embedded systems is growing in very rapidly. Embedded systems are usually suffering from limited resources in terms of processing power, power consumption, memory and storage. These limitations represent a challenge for embedded system developers. In this paper, a lightweight application framework for embedded systems is presented. The application framework provides the developer with powerful components instead of building them from scratch. Using the proposed framework should increase the productivity and flexibility. It should also minimize the effort and time. The proposed framework includes power management, memory management, event driven mechanism, timer management and TCP/IP compact stack.
