Toolchain targets safety-critical embedded systems
TTP-Scadelink is a novel system that integrates Esterel Technologies' Scade Suite with TTTech's TTP-Tools, offering a comprehensive toolchain for distributed safety-critical embedded systems.
Developers of demanding safety-critical mixed data flow and state machines applications, such as automotive and aerospace engine controls, aerospace navigation and guidance systems, cockpit display systems, flight software and controls, aerospace and automotive braking systems, automotive body controls, airbags, sensor controls, rail interlocking and train control systems, energy production systems controls, will benefit from this unprecedented modelling freedom enabled by Scade 6.0 in terms of design and verification time decrease, enhanced generated code size and speed as well as greater design flexibility and reusability.
Existing modelling solutions rely on the collaboration between two independent modelling editors; however, Scade 6.0 Unified Modelling Style simplifies the life of the safety-critical application developer.
Now, the developer can focus on the productivity of the modelling activity, in the knowledge that all the certification and verification optimisation benefits of the previous Scade releases are maintained.
