Embedded System
Massiveness and complex of software
Massiveness and complex of the embedded software is rapidly progressing. Accordingly, the development cost is also steadily rising. For example, more than 80% of the development cost is the software development cost regarding cellular phones. It is said that the average embedded system development cost for software accounts for 60% of the total cost. Traditionally, equipment makers developed embedded software on their own; however, in order to reduce development period and development costs, it is necessary to effectively use standard components such as standard OS and package soft.“Standardization” and “Differentiation”
“Standardization” and “differentiation” are demanded to establish a business model which enables embedded software industry to develop. It is desirable for software development corporations to compete with differentiated technical capabilities and development methods under industries or each business fields etc making efforts to standardize the developing environment.Vision of embedded software industry

Establishing the EcoSystem
Demand for reducing development cost period is rapidly rising with the severe competition among equipment makers and the product life cycle accelerating. Standardized platform is beginning to be demanded in order to reduce development cost and period. Furthermore, developing with the JAVA language is gathering attention replacing developing with the C,C++ language to improve efficiency of development. It is possible for Android to transfer many Enterprise JAVA engineer to embedded system engineer.Why Android?
- Application framework
- AP development by JAVA
- Linux base
- Open source
- Expected cellular phone market
- Worldwide standard platform
