Integration of an Analysis Tool for Large-Scale Embedded Real-Time Software into a Vehicle Control Platform Development Tool Cha

- We present a software tool for high-level design and analysis of large-scale embedded real-time software, which has been integrated into a vehicle control platform development tool chain. The integration framework of the tool chain is based on CORBA services, and the data exchanges among different tools are carried out through an analysis interchange format (AIF) expressed in XML schema. Our tool subscribes the document containing the software design and deployment models via the tool integration framework, performs structural and timing analysis, updates the document with analysis results, and publishes the updated document back via the same integration framework to our analysis result display tool, which is implemented as a plugin to Eclipse. By extracting and analyzing relevant information in the models of automotive embedded control software, our tool can find structural errors, analyze schedulability, and provide design recommendation/automation in the early stages of system des...
