Abstract

The goal of the diploma thesis was the development of a system for capturing screenshots from existing Pipistrel embedded devices. These devices offer CAN network connectivity, and with an appropriate interface, a personal computer can also be connected to the CAN network. The target system therefore envisages a personal computer application, where a user can request a screenshot from the embedded device via the CAN network and a software module for the embedded device, which ensures that the said action is performed on the embedded device. The development of the system was carried out according to the RAD methodology, where a prototype with only the key functionality and without any optimizations was prepared first, and then several improvements were added later. These mainly concern the lack of memory on the embedded device side and the low bandwidth of the CAN network. The final implementation was tested on two different embedded devices.
