MathWorks, creators of MATLAB and Simulink, and the embedded software safety and security company Green Hills Software have announced new features in Simulink that help engineers produce safety-related applications for Infineon’s AURIX TC4x family of automotive microcontrollers. Specifically, Simulink, the model-based systems simulation software, can now compile and generate code for the microcontrollers and then perform testing on said software using hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulations.

“Many of our customers use MathWorks products to create algorithms for embedded systems,” says Rob Redfield, director of business development at Green Hills Software. “Now, these customers not only have an easy-to-use way to run and verify these algorithms on embedded processors, but they also can debug, analyze, and optimize their code with safety-qualified optimizing C/C++ compilers and run-time libraries within the Green Hills MULTI IDE.” 

The workflow would look something like this:
