  text: "Rapidly rising system complexity has created a growing productivity gap in
    the\r\ndesign of electronic systems. One critical component is Hardware-dependent\r\nSoftware
    (HdS), the importance of which is often underestimated. In this chap-\r\nter,
    we introduce HdS and illustrate its role in the overall system design context.\r\nWe
    also provide a brief overview and define a basic HdS terminology and con-\r\nclude
    with a brief outlook over the following chapters in this book."
