Transforming a control design model into an efficient production application

Model-based design methods are well-established for the development of embedded control systems. Rapid control prototyping and automatic production code generation are widely applied to decisively speed up the software development process of electronic control units (ECUs). This paper describes the necessary transformation steps of the controller model from early controller design to final implementation on production hardware

Effiziente Software-Entwicklung und -Verifikation in einer Autosar-Werkzeugkette

Der erfolgreich eingefuhrte Autosar-Standard definiert ein Austauschformat, welches das Zusammenspiel von Werkzeugen im Software- und Architekturentwurf vereinfacht. Aus der Anwendungs praxis des Autosar- Standards heraus soll im Rahmen dieses Artikels aufgezeigt werden, wie dieses Zusammenspiel durch die Nutzung einer prazise aufeinander abgestimmten Werkzeugkette und wohl definierter Arbeitsablaufe gelingt. Die Firma dSpace bietet hierzu die Werkzeuge SystemDesk und TargetLink an.

Behavior Modeling Tools in an Architecture-Driven Development Process - From Function Models to AUTOSAR

This paper will first introduce and classify the basic principles of architecture-driven software development and will briefly sketch the presumed development process. This background information is then used to explain extensions which enable current behavior modeling and code generation tools to operate as software component generators. The generation of AUTOSAR software components using dSPACEs production code generator TargetLink is described as an example.

Efficient software development and verification in an Autosar tool chain

The Autosar standard, which has now been successfully introduced, defines an exchange format that simplifies the interactions between tools used for behavior modeling and architecture design. Drawing on practical experi- ence with the Autosar standard, this article will demonstrate how an efficient Autosar development process can be set up by using a precisely coordinated tool chain and well-defined workflows. dSpace provides the System- Desk and TargetLink tools for this.
