For generating production C code which implements an AUTOSAR-compliant run-time environment (RTE)
- Highly optimised RTE code generation based on TargetLink technology
- Memory and run-time minimised
- Easy mapping of runnables to OS tasks
Application Areas
The AUTOSAR RTE Generation Module is an add-on to SystemDesk which generates highly optimised RTE code. The RTE abstracts the software component layer from any implementation details of the basic software and from the hardware. It is responsible for communication between software components (SWC) and implements the OS tasks. When the ECU has been configured, the C code for the RTE implementation is generated.
Key Benefits
As a core aspect of AUTOSAR-compliant development, the RTE enables software components to be reused in different ECUs and supports component-based, distributed development. RTE generation is based on TargetLink technology. It uses all the code generation features of TargetLink such as the optimization techniques, so that small-sized memory chips and less powerful microcontrollers can be used.
Main Features of SystemDesk’s RTE Generator
- Optimised RTE code generation based on TargetLink technology
- Minimised memory and run time due to using preprocessor macros instead of C functions
- Support of all major AUTOSAR RTE concepts
- GUI (graphical user interface) for efficient mapping of runnables
- Validation of runnable mapping before RTE generation
