dSPACE Code Generator

TargetLink^®: More than just a production code generator

• High-quality production code generation directly from Simulink^®/Stateflow^®
• Built-in simulation and testing
• AUTOSAR support
• Certified for IEC 61508 and ISO 26262
• TargetLink Partner Program offering complementary third-party products for TargetLink

High-Quality Code for Mass Production
Following successful rapid control prototyping, target implementation is performed. Functions specified in graphical form are converted to production C code and implemented on the electronic control unit (ECU) together with the drivers and real-time operating system. Automatic production code generation gives effective support in this process. TargetLink generates production code automatically for graphically specified functions straight from MATLAB^®/ Simulink/Stateflow. This shortens coding and development times drastically and contributes to a considerable improvement in the quality of the production code.

Criteria for Successful Production Code
There are several criteria for the generated code. It must be:

• Very efficient, whether fixed-point or floating-point
• Human-readable
• Configurable and adaptable to company specific coding styles
• Easy to integrate with legacy code, base software, and other application software in existing ECUs

Proven Code Generation with TargetLink
TargetLink, the well-established production code generation software from dSPACE, meets all the criteria for production code generation and helps function and software developers to get their control strategies from block diagrams to a production-intent ECU faster and more reliably, without compromising code efficiency.
