Automatic code generation requirements for production automotive powertrain applications

Abstract

Automatic code generation for production automotive powertrain applications introduces many challenges for the tool vendor. Resource efficiency, reliability, and product process development issues need to be addressed. Automatic code generation used for rapid prototyping systems usually will not satisfy the requirements necessary for production oriented code generation. Some of the requirements critical to automatic code generation are not immediately obvious to a tool vendor who is not active in the user's industry. The purpose of this paper is to address some of the most common requirements for production automotive powertrain code generation.
