1. A software development tool for embedded computer systems, wherein said software development tool, which is operable to run on a computer equipped with a user interface, comprises:

  • a repository of configurable pre-programmed software components, called embedded system infrastructure components (ESICs), each of which is a self-contained object comprising an underlying modular code base and configuration structure related to a specific infrastructure function in a hardware-independent, non-operating-system software infrastructure for an embedded computer system;

    a selection tool for enabling user selection of a number of ESICs from the repository;

    a configuration tool for enabling user configuration, for each selected ESIC, of the corresponding infrastructure function based on the underlying configuration structure of the ESIC in order to match the requirements of a target application; and

    a code generator for extracting, for each selected ESIC, source code for the embedded system software infrastructure as a subset of the modular code base of the ESIC based on the user-selected configuration settings.
