    Abstract :

    The implementation of a hardware software co-design in the field of control systems is explained in this paper. The architecture of such systems is a key aspect in the design process. The system is designed based on the ATmega 328P microcontroller. The functionality of such a system is shown using a case study – Speed control of a DC motor under loaded and unloaded condition. Usage of minimal hardware and maximal software ensures reduction in hardware and lessens expenditure of the system and the dependency of the control system on the hardware is reduced. This makes the system design simplified and compacted. Purpose of speed control is to reduce the error and drive the motor at a set speed under loaded or unloaded condition to a certain extent. The speed control of DC motor is crucial in applications where precision is of essence.
