Interfacing with the user(s) and sponsor(s) and all other stakeholders in order to determine their needs.
Generating the highest level of system requirements, based on the user's needs and other constraints such as cost and
schedule.
Ensuring that this set of high level requirements is consistent, complete and correct.
Generating a set of acceptance test requirements, together with the designers, test engineers, and the user, which determine
that all of the high level requirements have been met, especially for the system-environment-interface.
Performing cost-benefit analyses to determine whether requirements are best met by manual, software, or hardware functions;
making maximum use of commercial off-the-shelf or already developed components.
Perform a partitioning to allocate all present and foreseeable requirements into discrete partitions such that a minimum of
communications is needed among partitions, and between the user and the system.
Partitioning of large systems into (successive layers of) subsystems and components each of which can be handled by a single engineer
or team of engineers or subordinate architect.
Generating products such as sketches, models, an early user guide, and prototypes to keep the user and the engineers constantly
up to date and in agreement on the system to be provided as it is evolving.
coaching the design and implementation engineers, or subordinate architects, so that any problems arising during design or
implementation can be resolved in accordance with the fundamental architectural concepts, and user needs and constraints.
Ensuring that a maximally robust architecture is developed.
Ensuring that all architectural products and products with architectural input are maintained in the most current state and never
allowed to become obsolete.

“WHAT”:
What is an architecture?
“A software architecture is the development product
that gives the highest return on investment with
respect to quality, schedule, and cost.”(Software Architecture in Practice – Bass/Clements/Kazman)
Architecture:
Blueprint, foundation, vision, coherent form or
structure, components connections and constraints,
for the system and the project developing it.
the conceptual glue(Documenting Software Architectures – Clements/Bachman/Bass/Garlan/Ivers/Little/Nord/Stafford)

“WHAT”
System Architecture: H2 document
IEEE1471:
Stakeholders have Concerns, from their Viewpoints Views
Construction business:
separate drawings per stakeholder bricklayer, electrician, plumber
Kruchten, “4+1”:
separating the different parts and put a focus per view on an
essential item:
logical view, process, development, physical, use cases

Agile?
What is agile and why is it important?
Changes:
Interfaces to the environment / other systems
Customer needs
Technological opportunities
Other and new markets
BDUF (– big design up front)
A lot of work at least twice…
Once for creating the full design in an early stage
Then the update of all of it due to the external changes over time
Agile/lean defer decisions to the latest possible moment

Agile Manifesto

(www.agilemanifesto.org)

12 Principles behind the Agile Manifesto
© Sioux Embedded Systems 2010 | Confidential | 13
1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development.
Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months,
with a preference to the shorter timescale.
4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
5. Build projects around motivated individuals.
Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team
is face-to-face conversation.
7. Working software is the primary measure of progress.
8. Agile processes promote sustainable development.
The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

Create a rough initial foundation based on
the future vision and direction.
A stable and robust multi-disciplinary
system outline, inspired by customer
needs and technological opportunities,
revisited on a regular basis.
Use a time-boxed iterative approach
for detailing the requirements, fit criteria,
design models and realisation.
This is derived from the multi-disciplinary
system outline implemented
for all disciplines.

MX21S MX21 Comment
Price $9 $12 Remarkable BOM reduction choosing MX21S for Control Panel, Wireless- and Serial Extender.
SPI 2 3 Control Panel: SPI for Touchscreen and IR-FPGA. Currently the Marvell/USI WiFi module is designed in. This module uses the SDIO interface. If in the future the Philips WiFi module would be preferred because of less power usage, then a third SPI interface is needed. That would mean that the MX21 could be used for the Control Panel from then onwards. Disadvantage is then that there are two processor types needed in stock. Extenders: SPI only for IR-FPGA.
UART 3 4 Control Panel and wireless extender need only one UART for debugging purposes. The serial extender is specified to have 4 serial ports. By multiplexing serial port 3 towards serial connection 3 and 4 the MX21S can be used. There is no requirement or use case that serial connection 3 and 4 need to be used at the same time in parallel.
MPEG4 No Yes The Control Panel should be able to display Motion JPEG pictures. This is however a different protocol than MPEG4. For now there is no requirement to be able to support MPEG2 or MPEG4 based IP-cameras.

Integrating Concepts
MX21S MX21 Comment
Price $9 $12 Remarkable BOM reduction choosing MX21S for Control Panel, Wireless- and Serial Extender.
SPI 2 3 Control Panel: SPI for Touchscreen and IR-FPGA. Currently the Marvell/USI WiFi module is designed in. This module uses the SDIO interface. If in the future the Philips WiFi module would be preferred because of less power usage, then a third SPI interface is needed. That would mean that the MX21 could be used for the Control Panel from then onwards. Disadvantage is then that there are two processor types needed in stock. Extenders: SPI only for IR-FPGA.
UART 3 4 Control Panel and wireless extender need only one UART for debugging purposes. The serial extender is specified to have 4 serial ports. By multiplexing serial port 3 towards serial connection 3 and 4 the MX21S can be used. There is no requirement or use case that serial connection 3 and 4 need to be used at the same time in parallel.
MPEG4 No Yes The Control Panel should be able to display Motion JPEG pictures. This is however a different protocol than MPEG4. For now there is no requirement to be able to support MPEG2 or MPEG4 based IP-cameras.

Feasibility projects
1. Pronto application port to iBoard (MXL-Linux) platform
2. iBoard hardware and BSP SW platform extensions: VGA LCD, USB
3. Extender supplier selection & evaluation
4. “MyDatabase”: prototype for Editor
5. Communication with CE servers
6. CF format Extensions
7. RS232 feasibility
8. MaestroEdit project wizard
9. BoM & power calculations
10. WiFi feasibility – protocol design
36© Sioux Embedded Systems 2010 | Confidential |
What I learned
1. Early feedback from the market (end-users, installers) is essential:
• The market determines the usefullness of a product.
• Early involvement leads to buy-in.
• It is impossible to define the success of a product behind the desk!
2. Prototyping technical issues is a must:
• Separates practice from theory
• Hottest issues in our case:
• battery power usage
• wifi reliability

Project Preparation Challenges
Define:
Project Plan
System Requirements
System Architecture
Effort estimations (software intensive)
Work break down
Development lead time: 6 months
Ramp-up of development teams
within one month (2 dev sites)
Feasibility, risks:
Battery power usage
Detailed calculations
Cross check with market
WiFi protocol:
TCP: not real-time, UDP: not reliable
define reliable protocol on top of UDP
© Sioux Embedded Systems 2010 | Confidential | 37
What I learned
1. Don‟t invest time in detailing all req/arch before starting project market window.
2. Do invest effort in highest feasibility risks for final go/no-go of a project.
Once defined, follow all results closely during the project
3. Have experts on board, in our case: using Linux you need a guru.
4. Multiple site development: solve the communication barrier by frequent and regular
face2face meetings.
Development Challenges
Agile approach, incremental working
Requirements at start of sprint
Focus on non-functional requirements
Software: continuous integration
System: early integration slots
Technical
USB: interoperability
WIFI AP: interoperability
© Sioux Embedded Systems 2010 | Confidential | 38
What I learned
1. Have a workshop at start of sprint: req / design / system interfaces / test
2. Have Continuous Integration and Test Driven Development as a standard wow.
3. Define non-functional requirements and have these tested as early as possible in the
development cycle.
4. Stop functional or feature development as soon as NFRs are below target.
5. Find multi-disciplinary integration opportunities in the earliest possible phase.
6. Never rely on standardization: external products will never comply to the standard!
You always must build in interoperability yourself!

Phased approach

Beta releases to selective group
Production
Testability in the factory
© Sioux Embedded Systems 2010 | Confidential | 39
What I learned
1. Phased market introduction is a must to get buy-in.
2. Factory is not in sync with product development:
• Input for testability from factory point of view is a must.
• At the moment the testability requirements are needed as input, concerning
stakeholders have very different priorities (production of previous products).
3. The necessity of convincing sales in selling solutions instead of selling products.

Price $9 $12 Remarkable BOM reduction choosing MX21S for Control Panel, Wireless- and Serial Extender.
SPI 2 3 Control Panel: SPI for Touchscreen and IR-FPGA. Currently the Marvell/USI WiFi module is designed in. This module uses the SDIO interface. If in the future the Philips WiFi module would be preferred because of less power usage, then a third SPI interface is needed. That would mean that the MX21 could be used for the Control Panel from then onwards. Disadvantage is then that there are two processor types needed in stock. Extenders: SPI only for IR-FPGA.
UART 3 4 Control Panel and wireless extender need only one UART for debugging purposes. The serial extender is specified to have 4 serial ports. By multiplexing serial port 3 towards serial connection 3 and 4 the MX21S can be used. There is no requirement or use case that serial connection 3 and 4 need to be used at the same time in parallel.
MPEG4 No Yes The Control Panel should be able to display Motion JPEG pictures. This is however a different protocol than MPEG4. For now there is no requirement to be able to support MPEG2 or MPEG4 based IP-cameras.

Lessons learned in general
DO‟s
Incremental/iterative development with short feedback
loops
Integration as early as possible. This addresses the weak
points in architecture/design (interfaces) in an early stage.
“Vertical” integration strategy.
Testing focus on non-functional requirements as early as
possible.
Daily stand-up meetings with the team, not only during
development but in any phase of the project.
Use information radiators, sheets on the wall for
planning, status dashboard, architecture, business
backgrounds.
The customer is never wrong. Involve the customer
whenever possible and use all the feedback you can get.
Integrate over the disciplines as early as possible and as
often as possible.
Design a system from the point of view of the most
important stakeholders (decision makers for buying the
product).
DON‟Ts
Only BDUF and a lot of paper work at the start.
Give priority to functional aspects over
performance and „ilities‟.
Write documents for the shelf.
Have the process in the lead.
Communicate electronically only.
Start without an architectural foundation
especially when working on a family of products.
Postpone integration to the latest stage of the
project.
Horizontal integration: Integrate layer by layer.
Have user interfaces designed by technical
people only.
