The MathWorks and Vector Integrate Tools for Model-Based Design and AUTOSAR Applications
NATICK, Mass. & STUTTGART, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The MathWorks and Vector Informatik today announced they are collaborating to enable the interoperability of their tools for AUTOSAR applications. This collaboration ensures the compatibility of development tools from both companies so that automotive software architects and algorithm developers can work together to design and automatically generate AUTOSAR-compliant embedded software faster and with less rework.
Under the collaboration, the tool integration supports both the development of new components and the reuse of existing components. Customers can define the component architecture in DaVinci Developer, Vector’s AUTOSAR design tool, and then export the component description into Simulink, where the component behavior is designed. Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder from The MathWorks is used to automatically generate both the AUTOSAR-compliant component code and an updated component description that can be read back into DaVinci Developer. The new R2009a versions of Simulink and Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder support this workflow for AUTOSAR 3.0. Customers can then use DaVinci Developer to configure Vector’s AUTOSAR compliant runtime environment MICROSAR RTE to integrate the component code with the AUTOSAR basic software.
“This collaboration is guided by input from automotive OEMs and suppliers that are using MathWorks and Vector products in their AUTOSAR development toolchains,” said Jim Tung, MathWorks Fellow at The MathWorks. “The MathWorks and Vector are working with users to identify additional opportunities to integrate our tools in order to provide our automotive customers with a solid and efficient environment for designing, implementing, and verifying their AUTOSAR applications.”
