Mecel Picea Suite

Mecel Picea Suite supports integration of external third party tools, effectively code generators, compilers and other tools needed in the development process. The embedded software is always delivered as a package integrated and tested for your specific platform. The package content can be customised depending on your project’s specific needs.

Mecel Picea Suite provides you with:

  • Run time environment (RTE) and basic software (BSW).
  • Tool for configuration of RTE and BSW.
  • Tool for editing and integrating software components (SW-C).

  • ICC3 compliant basic software
  • Low memory footprint
  • Minimal OS resource overhead
  • Robust
  • PC simulation of software components
  • Import of dbc files supported
  • Import of ldf files supported

 

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Picea Workbench

The Picea Workbench is a tool made for ECU suppliers. It was originally developed to meet our own internal requirements of a versatile, efficient tool that is capable of handling AUTOSAR ECUs in production programs where there can be several thousand ports and signals.

The Picea Workbench supports configuration of the basic software and the RTE. In addition to that, you can use the tool’s authoring functionality to edit your software components and build the ECU application layer. When you use the Picea Workbench you have one single tool that completes the configuration.

The Picea Workbench supports import and export of AUTOSAR configuration files. The tool also supports import of one AUTOSAR version and export to another AUTOSAR version.

Comparing and merging of AUTOSAR configurations is another powerful feature in the Picea Workbench. Migration from old systems to AUTOSAR is supported by the conversion functionality. With this functionality you can convert your dbc and ldf files to AUTOSAR configurations.

The Picea Workbench utilizes the plug-in feature of Eclipse and configurations are handled as true Eclipse projects. This means you have access to the Eclipse standard support for projects as well as a continuously increasing number of free Eclipse plug-ins for smooth integration with other tools and different confi guration and change management systems.

The Picea Workbench is decoupled from Picea BSW and Picea RTE and can be used to configure your own specific software as well as AUTOSAR software from other software suppliers.

Picea RTE

The Picea RTE is the interface between your application software and the basic software. Although Picea RTE is optimised for a low memory footprint and minimal OS resource overhead, it supports the wide range of powerful AUTOSAR features like compositions of software components and mode mapping.

The Picea RTE is generated by a command line tool that reads AUTOSAR configuration files, validates them according to the AUTOSAR schema and generates C code. It can be used together with the Picea Workbench or integrated with third party AUTOSAR tools or makefile systems

Picea BSW

The Picea BSW is the software layer below the RTE. It provides services like bus communication, memory management and operating system. The basic software is only accessible through the RTE.

The Picea BSW is completely AUTOSAR ICC3 compliant and can easily be integrated with ICC3 compliant modules from other software suppliers.

Each Picea BSW module comes with a standard software core and a code generator. The code generator is a command line tool that reads an AUTOSAR configuration, validates it according to the AUTOSAR schema and generates C code.

Picea BSW contains the following standard basic software bundles and bundle options:

  • OS
  • COM
  • Network Management
  • Memory
  • Diagnostic
  • Watchdog
  • IOHWAbstraction (project specific)
  • System

 

Options

  • Picea VFB Simulator – With the Picea VFB Simulator you can increase your application development effi ciency by integrating and testing your SW-Cs in a PC-environment. The Picea VFB Simulator makes it possible to develop SW-Cs without ECU hardware and BSW.
  • Picea COM Wrapper – With the Picea COM Wrapper you can migrate step by step from non-AUTOSAR software architectures to the AUTOSAR architecture. The Picea COM Wrapper makes it possible to use an AUTOSAR RTE together with a proprietary communication stack and enables you to develop ICC1 solutions based on existing non-AUTOSAR software.
