AUTOSAR Adaptive – Every Functional Developers Guide
AUTOSAR Classic Platform Automotive Open System Architecture, in short AUTOSAR was introduced in 2003, to manage complexity. The AUTOSAR Classic has a modular architecture with layers that aim to separate hardware-independent application software from hardware-oriented software. The upper layer, Application Software Layer (ASW), acts as a host for individual software components (SWC) that provide application functions. It […]
Best Practices for an Efficient Test of Simulink Models
Best Practices for Efficiently Testing Simulink Models In Model-based Development (MBD), Embedded Software Engineers create software systems with the help of model visualization and analysis. As the complexity of these models grows and the need to meet safety standards increases, the testing procedure becomes more time-consuming. Therefore, conducting extensive tests on these models before generating […]
3 Reasons to Consider Using a Floating-Point Model to Generate Fixed-Point Code
Despite the availability of fast processors with dedicated floating-point support, we still see many projects generating fixed-point code from Simulink. The reason for this is not only the resource usage, but also the more transparent and predictable mathematical behavior. You can read more about this in our previous articles “What you should know about fixed-point” […]
When and how to qualify tools according to ISO 26262
In the automotive industry, we can see a clear trend towards a growing complexity of embedded software combined with more and more software being used in safety critical applications. In this context the ISO 26262 standard plays an important role, providing recommendations for the development process of embedded systems. In addition to the process, ISO […]
