The latest version of dSPACE SystemDesk supports the current AUTOSAR Release 3.2. Together with dSPACE TargetLink and dSPACE Offline Simulator, dSPACE provides a seamless tool-chain for modeling ECU software, generating run-time environment and production code, and creating, simulating and testing virtual ECUs. The improved container management for exchanging software components brings SystemDesk and TargetLink even closer together, providing a thorough roundtrip workflow for system architects and function developers. With a smarter reimport mechanism supporting different data exchange and up-date scenarios, SystemDesk simplifies information exchange between vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers. New usability features, such as the import and export of diagrams, and identification of non-referenced AUTOSAR elements, make it easier to work on complex projects.
To test virtual ECUs in closed-loop scenarios, the virtual ECUs can now be con-nected to Simulink-based plant models in a separate editor. Additionally, test code coverage can be checked during offline simulation. A new SystemDesk license model that simplifies the setup of the dSPACE tool chain for generating and simulating virtual ECUs is now available.
