TimingExplorer for MPC755 offers a set of parameterizable ECU core models
to explore the effects of different ECUs or different ECU configurations
on the worst-case execution time performance. This allows you to account
for timing and timing effects in an early design phase and helps avoid
late-stage integration problems.
Key benefits
- TimingExplorer is a building block for ECU-level architecture exploration.
It helps you make informed desicions with respect to which ECU architectures
are appropriate for an application at an early stage of product development.
- TimingExplorer is focused on the worst-case timing and automatically provides
100% coverage of the analyzed software so that critical corner cases are
automatically considered.
- The effects of different ECU types and configurations can be evaluated
without the need to have the physical hardware available. This helps to prevent
late-stage integration problems.
- Seamless integration with other analysis tools from AbsInt
(e.g. StackAnalyzer
for stack usage analysis) in a single intuitive user interface.
