Real-time Software Architecture for Consumer Appliances -- System configuration

In order to run an application with the framework, the boards that are used in the system should be defined. As a consequence two kinds of users are involved in this part. The first category are the ones who buy the hardware and write the application and the second category are the people who build the boards. Therefore, the system configuration should be set in a way to reduce the configuration interference between these two groups. After configuring the boards, the programmer could set some values that are required to initialize the tasks and write the control functions. During control function implementation, some operations may be required to be run in the future or executed periodically. This is made by control timers. This technical report presents the system configuration. As the starting point, short description of board classes is presented. Then, board instances are described and finally control cycle timers were demonstrated.
