TargetLink 3.3 Includes Expanded Features for AUTOSAR-Compliant Development

By DE Editors

TargetLink 3.3, the new version of dSPACE's production code generator, provides expanded features for AUTOSAR-compliant development of electronic control units, and supports the latest AUTOSAR standards 4.0 and 3.2.

According to the company, the solution simplifies modular development with incremental code generation and improved data management. dSPACE has also enhanced TargetLink's user friendliness and its integration with MATLAB/Simulink. These features make model-based design with automatic code generation more efficient for AUTOSAR-compliant projects, conventional projects, ISO 26262- or IEC 61508-compliant development projects.

Native support for AUTOSAR has been expanded, and includes component design and AUTOSAR data management, implementation, and component tests so that various stages of embedded software development can be covered. For AUTOSAR-compliant development in combination with dSPACEs system architecture software SystemDesk, TargetLink now provides increased user convenience and more transparency via software component container (SWC) exchange.

TargetLink 3.3. is available as a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version, and it supports multiple MATLAB releases. The data management system in the dSPACE Data Dictionary has been extended by multiple workspaces with Diff&Merge functionality. This protects and simplifies iterative data exchange with other tools (round trip), for easier integration into the tool chain.
