This paper proposes a new visual modeling environment for embedded component systems that improves the produc- tivity of application developers. This embedded component system decreases the complexity and the difficulty of soft- ware development for embedded systems. Furthermore, it is possible to estimate the memory consumption of an entire application, since the proposed system uses a static config- uration. This environment builds the development compo- nents for the application. As well, the visual modeling envi- ronment can automatically generate a build description that is part of the component description language. Finally, this environment can be used to generate C-language interface code, either .h or .c, from the component descriptions.
