Prototyping of automotive control systems in a time-triggered environment using flexray

Highly sophisticated control systems are a driving force for innovation in automotive electronics. However, the integration of these systems within current and future vehicle projects is facing a complexity problem. Established methods of realizing such control systems need to be revised. A promising approach to address these problems is to use deterministic time-triggered technologies within automotive electronic systems. In this paper we will describe how rapid prototyping of automotive control systems can be realized within a real-time and time-triggered environment
