ASCET-DEVELOPER: Advanced Tool for Embedded Systems Programming

ASCET-DEVELOPER is an advanced tool crafted for model-based design and automatic C code generation, specifically aimed at embedded systems. It enables the development of both graphical and textual models, which are essential for producing maintainable, testable, and reusable C code that is both safe and efficient.

Advantages of ASCET

ASCET provides a multitude of benefits that enhance the development process:

Enhanced Speed

By utilizing model-based design and error frontloading, ASCET accelerates development, making it four times faster than conventional C development techniques.

Established Quality

With a track record of over 25 years, ASCET supports more than 500 million ECUs in vehicles globally, demonstrating its reliability and effectiveness.

Seamless Integration

Built on the Eclipse platform, ASCET supports standards such as MISRA-C, FMI, AUTOSAR, OSEK, and ASAM, ensuring smooth integration into existing workflows.

Features for Secure Embedded Programming

ASCET is engineered to make embedded programming both straightforward and secure. Key features include:

• Object-oriented programming
• Intention-based argument handling
• Safe loops and semantic units
• State machines and lookup tables
• Static analysis and more

Streamlined Code Generation

ASCET simplifies the code generation process by allowing developers to focus on problem-solving while the code generator manages the rest. Features include:

• High-quality MISRA-compliant C code
• Code readability and traceability
• Defensive code insertion
• Fixed-point and AUTOSAR code generation

Comprehensive Testing and Validation

ASCET offers extensive testing capabilities throughout the development cycle, including:

• Separation of model and representation properties
• Built-in unit testing framework
• Open-loop PC simulation
• Model coverage and analysis

Flexible Modeling Options

ASCET provides flexible modeling through various editors:

Block Diagram Editor

Perfect for modeling data and control flows with a deterministic execution order.

State Machine Editor

Enables decision logic programming using finite state machine notations.

ESDL and C Code Editors

Allow for detailed specification of model behavior using ESDL and C language.

Community and Professional Editions
