Reflect project milestones in vCDM

Use cases: Traceability according to milestones

Notification based on milestones

Milestones as time axis for reports

Motivation

35

Managing milestones

Milestones managed outside vCDM

Import into vCDM via web services

Only simple mechanisms to add and modify milestones

Use case integration

Attach datasets to milestone

Attach when creating dataset, revision, software change or freeze

Use milestones as time axis for report (calibration progress report)

Use milestones as trigger for notifications

Motivation


FIM is logically a matrix of „events by functions“

Real software has hunderts of events and hunderts of functions

ECU memory requirements demand to optimize the storage on the ECU

The sparsely populated matrix can easily be compressed

Problem The compressed matrix cannot be calibrated by standard MC tools

The calibration of the basic software modules DEM (Diagnostic Event Manager) and FIM (Function Inhibition Manager) suffers long turn-a-round cycles with intense process control

Support specific use cases Calibration fits to multiple criteria

Reflect variant coding dataset meta data

Reflect usage of ECU in multiple subsystems

Motivation


62

Configure variants with multiple attribute values


Set checkbox for all criteria that match

Can also selectively unset checkboxes

Display in overview comma separated

For variant based projects:

63

Configure datasets with multiple attribute values


For flexible projects:(without explicit variants)

Only applies for selected dataset

Set checkbox for all criteria that match

Can also selectively unset checkboxes

Display in overview comma separated

vCDMstudio license compliance

Miscellaneous

vCDMstudio license is included in vCDM RichClient license

vCDMstudio 16.2 software package introduces a license enforcement to ensure license compliance

vCDMstudio licensing > is linked to the vCDM license and does not require additional management effort> ensures offline license availability

Each successful login to vCDM certifies the local license for the next 3 month

68

Parameter value rules

Miscellaneous

Can check and generate values for maps and curves

Accept array types as result

Support maps and curves

Execution order

Determine order of rule execution

69

Check HEX after freeze

Miscellaneous

Automatic check of HEX file after freeze

Check execution can be configured on project or domain level

Check can be also triggered manually

Result log attached to dataset

How it works

Freeze is completely finished

Fetch from repository

Check HEX versus merged data in dataset

Check derived dataset versus base dataset

Reasons for deviations

Data processing errors ignored by user

Checksum or signature manipulated calibration data

Error in data execution

Manual start

Automatic start

Feature improves tool confidence level according to IS26262 (likelihood to detect problems)!

70

Parameter filter for parameter history (revision view)

Miscellaneous

Motivation

History can be huge across revisions

Filter for the relevant data

Improves performance and likelihood that history can be loaded at all

Nothing displayed by default

Select parameter

See history across revisions

71

EPROM check configuration at ECU software upload

Miscellaneous

Motivation

EPROM checks are software version specific

Cannot be preconfigured properly on domain or project level

Has to be determined if HEX/A2L is imported

Controls only visible if check is enabled
