Why this decision matters
Cross-discipline projects need shared interfaces, data formats, versions, target devices and integration plans to reduce waiting and repeated diagnosis.
Coordination depends on clear boundaries and early integration. Software, algorithm and embedded teams should share contracts, samples, versions and issue records.
Conditions to confirm before development
- Define contracts for sensor input, algorithm output and application interfaces
- Fix data formats, timestamps, coordinates, units and error codes
- Maintain compatibility across models, firmware, applications and system images
- Prepare target devices, simulators and layered integration samples early
Implementation and delivery approach
Build a minimal end-to-end path before optimizing individual layers. Version every interface change with impact and regression requirements.
Integration records should isolate input, algorithm, transport, application or hardware causes and retain reproducible data with exact versions.
Acceptance boundary
Parallel work requires stable interfaces and available test conditions. Delayed hardware, drivers or client systems affect the overall schedule.
