Motivation

Current Tool Landscape

Many different specialized tools involved – one for each domain

Tools have to interact with each other

Often done with homegrown solutions> Drawback

> Large effort to maintain compatibility over several versions

> Project specific – low reuse

Thus using already available interfaces is obvious

Most Common modeling tool is Matlab/Simulink

CANoe provides a Matlab/Simulink Interface

More generic approach: FMI (Functional-Mockup-Interface)

CANoe can load and integrate FMUs

Matlab/Simulink Interface

Interfaces

Provide the environment for a SUT in a compiled MATLAB model

Stimulation of sensors/actuators from model outputs/inputs

Utilizing e.g. CANoe RT for deterministic timing behavior

UDP based link – therefore generally available

FDX (Fast Data eXchange) is a protocol for simple, fast, real-time exchange of data between CANoe and other systems via an Ethernet connection. The protocol enables other systems read and write access to CANoe system variables, environment variables and contents of bus messages
