ADTF 3 - Automotive Data and Time-Triggered Framework

Table of Contents

Introduction

The Automotive Data and Time-Triggered Framework was designed as a Rapid Prototyping Toolset, Simulation Framework and Test- and Measurement Tool to fulfill following main use cases:

  • Reuse software components in different simulation sets and test setups
  • Develop Plug and Play software and simply use your specific hardware
  • Use the same software on different platforms
  • Prototype automotive functionality
  • Provide basic communication defintions and interfaces
  • Build up fully automated and highly scalable software solutions and cloud (post)processing
  • Use automotive standards like CAN, CAN FD, FlexRay, XCP, Some/IP, Automotive Ethernet / Autosar


Product Information
