This article presents an architecture for engineering reusable embedded software using modern C++ principles and a custom-built dependency injection framework. It details the framework’s design, specifically tailored for resource-constrained environments. The framework promotes modular and testable architecture. Its data-driven (via Json file) configuration defines component dependencies and determines their instantiation. The article demonstrates how such approach facilitates component decoupling and provides a viable path for developers to create scalable, portable, and high-quality embedded software, signifi-cantly reducing future development efforts.
