SystemDesk 4.5 Strengthens
Support for V-ECU Generation
Version 4.5 of dSPACE SystemDesk
provides extended support for creat-
ing virtual electronic control units
(V-ECUs). You can use V-ECUs to test
and simulate new ECU functions vir-
tually, without the need for a real ECU.
New in SystemDesk 4.5:
Easier configuration of NVRAM
(nonvolatile RAM) and creation of
V-ECUs, including NVRAM for virtual
simulation. This makes it possible
to comprehensively test the inter-
face between the application
software and NVRAM. The ECU
behavior in the simulation becomes
more realistic, which improves
test quality.
Importing and exporting the RTE
(run-time environment) configura-
tion for exchange with BSW (basic
software) configuration software.
RTE configuration aspects already
defined in SystemDesk, such as
the runnable-to-task mapping, can
be exported and then imported
into a third-party configuration
software for further editing.
V-ECU wizard for automatically
creating V-ECUs on the basis of an
existing software architecture. You
do not need specialized AUTOSAR
know-how to generate V-ECUs.
DCI-CAN2: Accessing CAN FD Networks
dSPACE recently extended its tool
chain by adding the new DCI-CAN2.
The DCI-CAN2 has the functionality
of DCI-CAN1 (accessing CAN net-
works) and also supports access to
CAN FD networks (FD = flexible data
rate). The DCI-CAN2 transmits mes-
sages between CAN/CAN FD net-
works and the host PC via USB (uni-
versal serial bus). This makes it easy
to use a PC to capture measurement
data in CAN and CAN FD networks,
achieving a much larger data through-
put for measurement tasks. The
DCI-CAN2 furthermore makes it pos-
sible to visualize CAN FD bus com-
munication in ControlDesk Next Gene-
ration (also in the Bus Navigator),
and to access electronic control units
via CCP and XCP on CAN FD.
