31.05.2016 eiCAB keynote


The Toolchain Introducing the DevKit
The DevKit is our Graphical Programming Toolchain:
 Clean architectural split (Design-Time, Run-Time).
 Design-Time: Development on Linux or Windows.
 Run-Time: Windows, Linux, iOS.
 Portability across platforms and devices.
 Virtually no hardware dependence.
 Extensive set of tools and special features.
 Built-in support for many protocols and generic interfaces.
 SIL 2 capable widget set.

31.05.2016 eiCAB keynote


The Toolchain Our Widgets
Widgets are our drag&drop, double-click UI elements:
 Total of about 35 widgets.
 From classics like text and image display, buttons,
speedometers and scales to ERA 3.5.0 ETCS widgets.
 Used in roughly 100 projects by 50 developers.

31.05.2016 eiCAB keynote


The Toolchain Our Widgets

31.05.2016 eiCAB keynote


The Toolchain Safety
 Many widgets come with SIL 2 support:

 Wizard creates safety data and system safety case.

31.05.2016 eiCAB keynote


The Toolchain Safety
Because Safety is in the critical path of every project:
 SIL 2 Profiles feature logical partition of safety apps:
 Separate SIL 0 and SIL 2 parts.
 Separate SIL 2 parts (applications).
 Allows splitting of recertification of e.g. ETCS and TCMS parts.
 Improves reuse and brings down engineering hours.
 Limits recertification efforts and facilitates testing.

31.05.2016 eiCAB keynote


The Toolchain Extensibility
DevKit features various interfaces for scope splits:
 Integrated Protocols vs. SharedMemory Interface.
 C++ API.
 External system processes via 3rd party interface.
 Widget Extensions by inheritance: The WDK.
 Generic debugging interfaces can also be used for extensions.
 Proven in use with e.g. BTAME:
 IPTCom, TDC, TSSP Server, DVS, DLEDS, TDS-ODBS, PCL, TCL,
VRS Client/Reporter, VRSRequester.
 We are open for further interfaces BT would require.
 Planned: The Widget Development Kit.

31.05.2016 eiCAB keynote


The Toolchain Special Features
DevKit special features show its maturity:
 DevKit Manager:
 Container-based and self-contained.
 No installation needed.
 Online- or Offline-Updates, completely version managed.
 Multi-User capability for cooperation.
 Lazy-Loading for nearly constant bootup-times.
 Tools for project reuse and conversions.
 Diagnostic features (tool-based, 3rd party, web).
 Wizard-based automated UI generation.
