Abstract

Modern embedded multi-core system platforms are key innovation drivers in the automotive domain.

The challenge, is to master the increased complexity of these systems and ensure consistency of the development along the entire product life cycle. Automotive standards, such as ISO 26262 and automotive SPICE require efficient and consistent product development and tool support. The existing solutions are still frequently insufficient when transforming system models with a higher level of abstraction to more concrete software engineering models.

The aim of this work is to improve the information interchange continuity of architectural designs from system development level to software development level (Automotive SPICE ENG.3 and ENG.5 respectively ISO 26262 4-7 System design and 6-7 SW architectural design). An approach for seamlessly combining the development tools involved is thus proposed. This approach merges the heterogeneous tools required for development of automotive safety-critical multi-core systems to support seamless information interchange across tool boundaries.
