7 Why PC-Based Development? Road to lab to math is basically the idea that you want to be as advanced on the evolutionary scale of engineering as possible. Math is the next logical step in the process over testing on the road and in the lab. Math is much more cost effective because you don t have to build preproduction vehicles and then waste them. We ve got to get out in front of the technology so it doesn t leave us behind. We have to live and breathe math. When we do that, we can pass the savings on to the consumer. - A senior auto executive Summary: Development hardware (ECUs, vehicles etc.) is expensive and PCs are more powerful and inexpensive than ever.

8 Why PC-Based Development? Automotive industry is already leveraging PCbased development for a range of activities, e.g.: software functional testing and V&V legacy c-code simulation on the PC target-like timing analysis (RTOS) calibration development system development using plant models complete ECU hardware emulation But more can be done.

SiL: INCODIO parses C-code and makes it visible to INTECRIO for integration with models or other C-code. INTECRIO adds scheduling information and compiles for PC target. 39 Calibration: An industry standard tool like INCA can be used to pre-calibrate ECU software in the SiL environment

45 Summary Virtual techniques can substantially lower the cost of verification and validation of ECU control models and software. Calibrators can use the same tools in the virtual environment as in the vehicle. Re-use of test cases, models and calibration data across the development cycle further optimizes cost and effort. AUTOSAR architecture further enables validation of ECU software on the PC platform 45
