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 Modeling Solutions and Consulting
Services for Automotive Software Applications -
MALMÖ, Sweden and IRVINE, California – 13 February 2007 – Telelogic (Nordic
Exchange/MidCap/TLOG) has expanded its partner ecosystem by forming a strategic
alliance with Willert Software Tools GmbH. Through this partnership Telelogic
Rhapsody® will provide the first Model-Driven Development™ (MDD™) 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™ (UML®) 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, Bosch, DaimlerChrysler, Opel, Siemens,
PSA, 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 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 (RTOS) 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.
