This paper proposes a new approach towards achieving a totally simulation-based software development process for electronic control units (ECU) in automotive applications. It introduces a tool-based methodology to support the system software designer right from inception through the chain by bridging the main steps of software development, i.e. “Simulation/Automatic Code Generation”, “Compilation” and “Measurement & Calibration”. The coherent linkage of these steps to each other by means of flexible open interfaces (conform with ASAM-MCD [1] and OSEK [2]) is addressed in this paper.
