Abstract

We present a case study on virtual prototyping of automotive applications. We address the co-simulation of HW/SW systems involving firmware, communication protocols, and physical/mechanical systems in the context of model-based and agile development processes. The case study compares the Matlab/Simulink and SystemC based approaches by an e-gas benchmark. We compare the simulation performance, modeling capabilities and applicability in different stages of the development process.
