ETAS has developed the ISOLAR-EVE (ETAS Virtual ECU) tool environment: a platform for efficient PC-based development, validation, and verification of embedded software that leverages the AUTOSAR standard. Implementing ISOLAR-EVE’s open interfaces and flexibility can deliver a significant increase in productivity in many key development steps:
- Early validation of the application software at the AUTOSAR Virtual Function Bus level
- Simple and fast testing of AUTOSAR software components and software component interoperability including Basis Software stack
- ECU network integration testing with any combination of real and virtual ECUs, even with continuous integration throughout the entire development process
ISOLAR-EVE is a powerful virtual ECU environment that accelerates the integration and testing of ECU software. Errors can be found sooner to save time and costs, and this contributes to a high software quality at an earlier point in the development process.
Benefits
- Connect the virtual ECU to tools for CAN bus simulation, such as CANoe or BUSMASTER
- Automate testing, e.g. with PikeTec TPT
- Includes MCAL (Microcontroller Abstraction Layer), OS (AUTOSAR operating system), and RTE (AUTOSAR Runtime-Environment) for the PC, based on production-proven embedded implementations of these components
- Supports RTE (AUTOSAR Runtime Environment) and AUTOSAR-BSW (Basic software) implementations of various suppliers
- Simulation of closed control loops, e.g. with Simulink® or FMI compliant tools
- Openness and flexibility by using standards, such as AUTOSAR, Artop, Eclipse, XCP, and A2L
