Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) and Mecel AB announced
today the availability of a solution for the design, configuration,
generation, and implementation of an AUTOSAR Basic Software (BSW)
solution for Versions 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. Mentor Graphics partnered
with Mecel, a subsidiary of Delphi Automotive PLC (NYSE:DLPH), in
the development of the industry’s first complete AUTOSAR 4.x
solution for the automotive marketplace. AUTOSAR is currently the
largest E/E (Electrical/Electronic) standardization project in the
automotive industry.
The Mentor Graphics® offering of AUTOSAR design tools (available
since 2009) is accompanied by the AUTOSAR BSW. The Mecel offerings
include Mecel Picea BSW, RTE and configuration tools, also
available since 2009. In their collaboration, Mentor Graphics and
Mecel implemented different portions of the configuration tool and
software stack with jointly ensured interoperability, enabling both
parties to offer the complete stack to their customers.
Mentor Graphics and Mecel will both sell the jointly developed
tools, and support for the tools will be provided by both companies
to their respective customer bases. The AUTOSAR BSW solution
includes the Volcano™ VSTAR product and the VSB configuration tool
from Mentor Graphics. Mecel calls the AUTOSAR BSW product Mecel
Picea Suite and the configuration tool Mecel Picea Workbench. All
of these products will be available in December, 2011.
Additionally, Mecel will be complementing this offering with their
consulting services to help automakers and suppliers create,
configure, customize, and extend AUTOSAR-based systems.
Lennart Lundh, director EESE Electrical System Design at Volvo
Cars, said, “The Mecel/Mentor Graphics cooperation is positive for
Volvo Cars since it is important to have a strong and healthy
supplier base moving into AUTOSAR 4.0.”
“As a result of the Mecel partnership, Mentor Graphics can now
offer an industry-leading, modular, and open tool chain based on
our proven tool suite, accompanied by a production-ready AUTOSAR
Basic Software solution,” stated Serge Leef, vice president and
general manager of the System Level Engineering Division at Mentor.
“Mecel’s experienced services operation further enhances the value
of this solution. We are now even better positioned to support
current and future E/E system design and implementation needs in
the worldwide automotive market.”
Mecel is an automotive software and services operation that has
developed several AUTOSAR-based Electronic Control Units (ECUs)
based on Picea 3.1 software and tools for production programs. As a
result, Mecel gained extensive experience in supporting AUTOSAR ECU
projects from design to production. Mentor Graphics has also
provided several generations of AUTOSAR design automation tools and
embedded software to the automotive OEMs and suppliers worldwide.
Potential customers of this joint offering can greatly benefit from
extensive capabilities brought forth in the design tools, embedded
software, and services.
Henrik Häggstr�m, managing director, Mecel, stated, “With the
fast growth we see with AUTOSAR 4.0, the partnership with Mentor
Graphics and their track record within the tool chain will
strengthen Mecel’s capability and put us in a leading position as
AUTOSAR software suppliers and enable us to deliver world-class
solutions and support to Tier 1s and OEMs around the globe.”
Mecel Picea addresses automotive suppliers’ need to have an
efficient tool for configuration and integration when their
engineers are developing applications for ECUs. Mecel Picea
supports the complete development process with a seamless
integrated tool chain and embedded software. Since 2009, Mecel
Picea Suite has been delivered to AUTOSAR 3.1 production programs
for Volvo Cars, Daimler and BMW. In addition Mecel has been
supporting OEMs and Tier 1s to adapt their existing applications to
AUTOSAR-based platform. Mecel has already started to deliver
AUTOSAR 4.0 software to Volvo Car suppliers.
The Mentor tool suite for AUTOSAR, named Volcano VSx, includes
the Volcano Vehicle System Architect (VSA) product, a systems
design and authoring tool for AUTOSAR-based systems. It enables
engineers to design AUTOSAR-compatible Software Components (SWC),
map them to hardware architectures, and manage the resulting
relationships. Additionally, it provides the user with the
necessary support for managing large-scale projects with
distributed development personnel. Other products in the VSx family
include the Volcano VSA COM and the Volcano Vehicle System
Integrator (VSI) tools. VSA COM is a communication matrix design
tool for LIN, CAN, FlexRay, and (in the future) Ethernet. The VSI
tool is used for AUTOSAR RTE simulation, verification, and debug of
SWCs. The VSx tools are, for example, in use at BMW and Volvo Cars
in various production programs based on AUTOSAR 3.1 and AUTOSAR
4.0.2/.3.
