Automotive Overview

Automotive electronics is amongst the fastest growing segments of the electronics industry. Modern vehicles such as cars incorporate dozens of computers also referred to as ECUs (Electronic Control Units) that are networked using a varitey of buses such as Controller Area Networks (CAN).

Automotive markets are characterized by the need to deliver differentiated products to retain or gain market share without compromising on the safety aspects of the vehicle

Teraptor Designer can be used for modeling automotive ECU networks, Teraptor Player can be used for running software on the virtual platforms created from the models for various applications such as

1. reproducing in the lab defects encountered in the field
2. extensively testing the software using virutal platform
3. simulating faults and analyzing fault handling and
4. for analyzing performance and performance optimizations.

Virtual Platform

A virtual Platform is a software based platform that simulates the behaviour of a hardware system. A virtual platform includes a simulator that can model the complete hardware system consisting on one or more processors and peripheral devices.

Usage Areas

• System software developers can use a virtual platform to port an embedded operating system and to develop device drivers.
• Application developers can use the virtual platform for testing their applications - either standalone or running with the help of an operating system.

Solution

Teraptor Player plays virtual platforms which can be used for hardware and software co-design, and development. Enables software developers to get a head start, there by reducing time-to-market.

Fault Injection and Failure Analysis Coverage Testing

Solution

Mission critical applications can take advantage of virtual platforms to inject faults into the system that are difficult or costly to reproduce using real hardware. This enables software components that handle such faults to be tested thereby improving overall coverage testing.
