Rapid Prototyping Program Architecture

The structure of a real-time program consists of three components. Each component has a dependency on a different part of the environment in which the program executes. The following diagram illustrates this structure.

Figure 7-6: The Rapid Prototyping Program Architecture

The Real-Time Workshop architecture consists of three parts. The first two components, system dependent and independent, together form the run-time interface.

This architecture readily adapts to a wide variety of environments by isolating the dependencies of each program component. The following sections discuss each component in more detail and include descriptions of the application modules that implement the functions carried out by the system dependent, system independent, and application components.
