Eliminating the Cost and Need Associated with Early Physical Prototypes

Overview

Focused at system engineering teams, this webinar covers the development of an architectural virtual prototype that supports algorithm development, HW/SW co-simulation and virtual system integration using a model-driven development flow. The tool flow described emphasizes:

• Requirements Tracing
• UML/SysML System Modeling
• Model compilation

This first level of virtual system integration can provide detailed analysis of core algorithms in the context of a real-world system environment prior to making technology selections such as target processor architecture and hardware / software boundaries.

What You Will Learn

• Methodology for reducing time to market & increasing design robustness
• Specific solutions to address design, verification & test challenges
• A flow that supports tying requirements from specification through derived design and verification artifacts
• A flow that supports early modeling of analog, mixed signal and physiological aspects of a system
• A flow that supports early virtual system integration at the algorithm / functional level
• A flow that supports generation of C, C++, and/or SystemC from UML / SysML executable models
• A flow that supports early virtual system integration at the target language code / firmware level
• A flow that supports comprehensive virtual system verification and validation including test harnesses, application software, firmware, digital hardware, analog hardware, mechanical and physiological elements
