Embedded software partnership improves safety
An
Esterel Technologies product story

AbsInt's aiT and StackAnalyser products allow the assessing of worst-case execution time and stack usage of embedded system code.
Esterel Technologies and AbsInt have formed a partnership to offer a integrated environment for developing mission and safety-critical embedded software applications, featuring a seamless workflow between Esterel Scade and AbsInt's aiT and StackAnalyser products.
Esterel Scade provides a full suite of model-based design (MBD) tools from formal graphical design capture and validation down to embedded C code generation for mission and safety-critical production use.
Esterel Scade is the only MBD solution to offer DO-178B qualified C code generation up to level A, certified IEC 61508 C code generation up to SIL 3 and certified EN 50128 C code generation up to SIL 4.
AbsInt's aiT and StackAnalyser products allow the assessing of worst-case execution time and stack usage of embedded system code, taking into account the characteristics of the various hardware platforms.
The coupling of Esterel Scade with AbsInt's aiT and StackAnalyser products provides optimal visibility into the run-time performance of the system by reporting the WCET and stack usage of each design element, at the model level.
By raising the level of abstraction with these analysis capabilities, embedded software developers can quickly identify and eliminate potential design flaws.
In fact, without having written a single line of code, developers can determine which part of the design may contribute most to WCET or stack usage and refactor the design accordingly, saving considerable development cycle time and optimising the performance of the application right from the model level.
Esterel Scade includes customisable report generation and "diff" capabilities that allow an application developer to assess the performance impact of code generation and compilation options on every design element.
The integrated solution will be delivered within Scade Suite 6.1, scheduled in Q3/2008.
