5 GENESYS GENeric Embedded SYStems GENESYS GENeric Embedded SYStems (Instruction how to build your embedded systems architecture) GENESYS: is a reference architecture template providing specifications and requirements to design a cross domain embedded systems architecture for your application. architecture style supports a composable, robust and comprehensible, component based framework with strict separation of computation from message based communication distinguishes between 3 integration levels: Chip Level (IP cores communicate via a deterministic Network-on-a-Chip) Device Level (Chips communicate within a device) System Level (Devices communicate in an open or closed environment) ARTEMISIA Association First GENESYS Architectures Implemented in the INDEXYS Project - 5

6 GENESYS GENeric Embedded SYStems GENESYS Reference Architecture Solves 3 Challenges: Complexity Management Management of ever increasing cognitive complexity of embedded systems is a major concern of all application domains Robustness Deliver an acceptable level of service also in case of faults and operator mistakes Energy Efficiency Energy efficiency is of utmost concern in mass market of mobile devices Lift the design process to a higher level of abstraction. Self-contained HW/SW components, exclusively communicating by exchange of messages Reuse of components based on their interface specification Establish a framework of: Fault containment Error containment Selective re-start of components failed (transient faults) Replication of components Security addressed at all levels of architecture Energy efficiency provided: Technology agnostic, model-driven design style supporting migration of stable component from SW on a CPU to ASIC Reduce of power requirements of components Turn-off of un-needed components ARTEMISIA Association First GENESYS Architectures Implemented in the INDEXYS Project - 6
