Telelogic Releases Rhapsody OSEK Integration, the First UML 2.0/SysML-Based Modeling Environment to Produce OSEK Targeted Code.- Telelogic and Willert Software Tools form Partnership to Provide Optimized OSEK OSEK Offene Systeme und Deren Schnittstellen für die Elektronik im Kraftfahrzeug (English: Open Systems and the Corresponding Interfaces for Automotive Electronics). Modeling Solutions and Consulting Services for Automotive Software Applications - MALMO, Sweden and IRVINE, California -- Telelogic (STO:TLOG TLOG Transaction Log TLOG The League of Gentlemen (UK TV show) TLOG Training Log (health & fitness) TLOG Theater Logistics TLOG The Last Of Gracie (Lima, OH band) ) has expanded its partner ecosystem by forming a strategic alliance with Willert Software Tools GmbH. Through this partnership Telelogic Rhapsody[R] will provide the first Model-Driven Development[TM] (MDD MDD Major depressive disorder, see there [TM]) environment for automotive software development that complies with Open Systems and Corresponding Interfaces for Automotive Electronic (OSEK) and is based on the Unified Modeling Language See UML. (language) Unified Modeling Language - (UML) A non-proprietary, third generation modelling language. The Unified Modeling Language is an open method used to specify, visualise, construct and document the artifacts of an object-oriented software-intensive system [TM] (UML (Unified Modeling Language) An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG). Many design methodologies for describing object-oriented systems were developed in the late 1980s. [R]) 2.0 and SysML. For the first time, automotive software application developers will be able to design, test, and validate embedded software in a UML 2.0/SysML-based MDD environment. Developers will be able to seamlessly deploy the code to a target Embedded Control Unit (ECU) running OSEK, the dominant standard for automotive software and electronics. OSEK, created by industry partners BMW BMW in full Bayerische Motoren Werke AG German automaker. Founded as an aircraft engine manufacturer in 1916, the company assumed the name Bayerische Motoren Werke and became known for its high-speed motorcycles in the 1920s. , Bosch, DaimlerChrysler, Opel, Siemens, PSA (Professional Services Automation) An information system designed to organize, track and manage all opportunities, work, resources, costs, revenues and invoices to improve the productivity and efficiency of the workforce. , Renault and VW, was developed to enable software reuse, solve control unit incompatibility, and to reduce engineering costs. "Telelogic Rhapsody provides a critical set of capabilities to developers working in the OSEK domain," said Andreas Willert, President, Willert Software Tools GmbH. "Willert Software Tools is proud to partner with Telelogic to create this solution and add value to our customer's experience with OSEK-compliant adaptors specifically customized for different combinations of OSEK, microcontroller, and compiler. Additionally, our training and consulting services can help users get up to speed quickly while getting the most out of their software solutions. What's more, this partnership has already produced a proven solution, with the Rhapsody and Willert OSEK adaptation now modified for a major automotive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and manufacturer." "This alliance demonstrates our commitment to building strong relationships with key technology partners, such as Willert Software Tools. Willert Software Tools are experts in creating efficient code targeted for the resource-constrained environments found in automotive ECUs," said Raz Yerushalmi, Vice President, Development Systems and Automotive Applications, Telelogic. "The ability to efficiently generate code from Rhapsody targeted to the OSEK-compliant real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. (RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. ) will allow automotive engineers to further leverage the benefits of using the Telelogic solutions for UML 2.0/SysML-based MDD. These benefits include improved communication via standard models, reduced errors through simulation and model-based testing, and time savings offered by code generation." The Telelogic and Willert OSEK solution enables software developers to use the Rhapsody MDD environment for software development, design, analysis, and C code generation. The solution includes a real-time execution framework that enables the generated code to target an OSEK-compliant RTOS. Additionally, the Rhapsody OSEK integration supports the OSEK Implementation Language file, or OIL file, providing a seamless integration into OSEK-compliant software solution chains. In circumstances where software developers need to connect a software solution chain consisting of the microcontroller, the compiler, and the OSEK implementation, Willert can tailor the integration for any combination of these three elements. By optimizing the OSEK adaptor, generated code and OIL file, Willert provides an efficient integration for small target implementations on microcontrollers. Developed for embedded automotive applications, the Telelogic Rhapsody OSEK integration is available now.
