Defining a Platform Architecture

AutoFOCUS supports to model the architecture and the resources of hardware platforms. If your project has no Platform Architecture root element yet, please add it in the context menu of your project.

You can add elements to your Platform Architecture by dragging them from the Model Elements View into your Platform Architecture.

AutoFOCUS 3 comes with the following platform architectures.

• Generic platform architecture: A flat model of the system's hardware platform, consisting of a network of electronic control units (ECUs) that are connected by means of transmission units (abstracting busses or networks).
• Hierarchical platform architecture: A generic model to describe networked multicore architectures in terms of their execution units (e.g., ECUs processors, cores), topology, memories, and I/O ports.
• RaspberryPi platform architecture: A model representing RaspberryPi execution units that can be connected through a common CAN bus.
