SystemDesk
Type
System and software architecture development
Functionalities
SystemDesk supports the development of software architectures and distributed automotive electrics/electronics (E/E) systems. Such systems can be modeled according to the AUTOSAR standard. Existing communication matrix files can be imported in SystemDesk to specify network communication. When AUTOSAR software components are modeled or imported in SystemDesk, available ASAM MCD-2 MC (ASAP2) models can be imported as well. During generation of the AUTOSAR run-time environment (RTE) and virtual ECUs (V-ECUs), ASAP2 file generation is also performed for variables that are tagged for calibration and measurement according to the AUTOSAR concept. When V-ECUs are built, instances of the XCP service (XCP on Ethernet – TCP/IP) are implemented in the V-ECU code. Thus, the V-ECUs and variables described in the ASAM MCD-2 MC (ASAP2) files can be accessed during simulation.

TargetLink
Type
Production code generation (for ECU development)
Functionalities
TargetLink is a software system that generates production code (C code) straight from the MathWorks® Simulink®/Stateflow® graphical development environment. The C code generation options range from plain ANSI C code to optimized fixed- or floating-point code for AUTOSAR platforms. Versatile code configuration options ensure that the production code copes with processor constraints. Converting graphical models directly into production code ensures perfect consistency between model and code at all times. Since the same model will always result in the same proven code, TargetLink’s code generation is deterministic and thus guarantees the highest software quality. Every step can be tested against the specification via the built-in simulation features.

As measurement data raw data (Lidar, Camera, GPS/IMU) or ObjectList data can be used. The road (ASM road and OpenDRIVE) can be imported by HD-maps or it can be generated based on the raw data. For the dynamic content of the scenario a replay scenario for exact re-simulation of real world incident or edge-case is generated. Additionally, a logical scenario is generated that also enables parameter-variation to finding new edge-cases in scenario-based testing. The generated scenarios can be used for physics-based sensor simulation as the 3D environment is reproduced in simulation.
