The model-based software development approach will enable automotive firms to streamline the interactions between physical devices and embedded software.
FREMONT, CA: The task of writing embedded software for automotive applications is not very different from writing embedded software for other applications. However, the key differentiators are the quality of standards that must be followed for any development. The constant increase in intelligence and connectivity requirements of vehicles are making it difficult to ensure the effective interaction between the software and physical systems in an automotive vehicle. A common digital thread lacing physical and software systems together is the only way to manage the increasing complexity of connected products. A robust digital thread will help engineers ensure that software features are compatible with the vehicle in which they are incorporated. Here are the means through which firms can best implement such a digital thread.
Integrating Automotive Embedded Application Development
An effective automotive embedded software development includes a secure, robust, and capabilities to track, design, and improve the complex functional features that are spread across the vehicle sensors. Such a capability requires an integrated platform for embedded software development to manage all the activities across the diverse tool-set located in the automotive system.
Application Planning and Definition
Advanced software development coordination tools can track and consume the system-level product definition to establish a direct link between a software application and system-level tools. The hardware constraints and system-level definitions are coded into requirements and specifications. Engineers can then determine the required mix of hardware and software requirements to begin embedded software application-level planning.
Application Development
Once the application planning is over, it is imperative to ensure that component-software interactions achieve the desired functionality. Models can be fed with code changes and updates once they become robust and complete with validation and verification. The model-based approach not only hastens the development process but also encourages the incorporation of additional functionalities.
Automotive firms are constantly eyeing to boost the cooperation between the embedded software and physical sensor devices in the vehicle. The continuous effort in this regard will certainly result in the emergence of advanced embedded software solutions for automotive.
