AUTOSAR 3.0 SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE V-MODEL


 
Complete communication stacks with CAN and FlexRay
The AUTOSAR compatible middleware EB tresos AutoCore provides most of the basic AUTOSAR 3.0 software modules, including a complete communication stack with CAN and FlexRay. The new FIBEX 2.x importer enables reading of a FlexRay network specification.
 
Improved handling for high process stability
The AUTOSAR configuration editor EB tresos Studio supports AUTOSAR 2.1 and 3.0. Moreover, pre-configurations and recommended configurations can be loaded for each module. Thus, it is possible to pre-configure basic software modules for a specific company or project and to distribute these configurations along with the modules to project team members. Icons in EB tresos Studio display the source of the configuration values - so the user can see at a glance which values are still set default, which have been pre-configured, and which have been entered manually. "This significantly increases the process reliability in the configuration work." Thomsen sums up.
 
A comprehensive search dialogue allows searching for any desired character string in the names or values of the configuration data model. The search can also generate a list of all the configuration parameters that are still set to the default value. Thus, in EB tresos Studio, the user is able to quickly identify which parameters are still to be processed in the respective project.
 
Continuous workflow with open interfaces
With the new release, there is now a convenient data interchange between EB tresos Designer and EB tresos Studio. In EB tresos Designer, thanks to an intelligent dialogue system, the user can generate new FlexRay schedules in only a few stages. In addition, existing schedules can be imported and modified from the interchange format FIBEX. After a data import into EB tresos Studio, the user can complete the configuration of the FlexRay stacks on the basis of the schedule, then generate the code for the basic software modules. The EB tresos tool chain offers users a continuous workflow for the development of FlexRay control units in accordance with the AUTOSAR standard.
 
Network-Based Licenses
With the "floating license" concept, available with the new release EB tresos 2008.b, users have flexible access to a license pool within a company network. Licenses are allocated only for as long as they are actually needed by the user. Consequently, significant savings can be made on license costs relative to the traditional dongle solution.
 
EB tresos Studio and EB tresos Designer are available immediately. Portings of EB tresos AutoCore to microcontrollers from different semiconductor manufacturers are currently in development and will be gradually released within the next weeks.
