1. 1- Introduction
   1. Hardware
      1. Constraints
         1. Memory
         2. Speed
         3. Code space
         4. Power consumption
   2. Software
      1. Performance
         1. Deterministic
         2. Realtime
      2. Cross-compiled
      3. Cross-debugged
         1. Breakpoint
            1. Software
            2. 1- Modify memory loaded code
            3. 2- Insert 'stop' instruction
            4. RAM execution
            5. Hardware
            6. ROM/Flash execution
            7. 1- Load breakpoint into an internal register
            8. 2- Compare it with at each execution
            9. 3- Stop if matched.
            10. Side-effects
            11. Change
            12. Timing
            13. Bugs
            14. Intermittent
      4. Documentation
         1. What code does
         2. Not How it does
      5. Optimization
         1. Later
         2. Implement, test, then optimize
   3. Challenges
      1. Largest
         1. Change
   4. Design
      1. Principles
         1. Predict changes
         2. Flexibility
         3. Modularity
            1. How to break up a system
            2. Which part can change independently
            3. Example
            4. Sensor X talks over communication channel Y
            5. Both independent
            6. Hence separate sub-systems
         4. Encapsulation
   5. Life
      1. Conception
      2. Prototyping
      3. Board bring up
      4. Debugging
      5. Testing
      6. Release
      7. Maintenance
